Summary of the ten land use × climate change scenarios used to predict impacts on stream fish assemblages

% impervious % forested Presence of riparian buffer % watershed under construction Climate
Baseline 10 20 Yes 0 Present*
Climate Change only 10 20 Yes 0 Future
Urbanization only 30  2 No 2 Present*
Urbanization + Climate Change 30  2 No 2 Future

*Present climate is taken from the years 1995 to 2004 based on historical simulations by the HadCM3 model and statistically downscaled to match observed historical distributions (Supporting Information, Appendix S1). We used historical simulations to ensure uniformity among the climate drivers.

Four different future climate change scenarios were used, as described in text and Table 3.
