Table 1.

Percent area of the contiguous U.S. classified based on combinations of the degree of climate exposure (vulnerability) and conservation value for three multivariate metrics (i.e., the “corners” of the conceptual model and mapping legend).

	Forward velocity	Backward velocity	Climate dissimilarity
Low conservation value, low climate vulnerability	8.2	2.8	13.5
Low conservation value, high climate vulnerability	37.8	34.8	36.0
High conservation value, low climate vulnerability	37.2	45.9	29.5
High conservation value, high climate vulnerability	16.8	16.5	21.0

Lands are mapped in Fig. 4 and the left column of Fig. 5. Percent area is reported here for easier evaluation of geographic patterns in classification. Figure 6 shows how these values change when assessing agreement in climate simulations.
