Fig 2. The NELFP scenarios used to estimate wildlife species future probability of occurrence throughout the New England region.

Fig 2

Scenarios were built around two drivers of landscape change: 1) Natural Resource Planning & Innovation and 2) Socio-Economic Connectedness. The drivers form four alternatives scenarios to recent trends: “Connected Communities”, “Yankee Cosmopolitan”, “Go It Alone”, and “Growing Global”. Scenario-specific changes in development, agriculture, forest harvest, and conservation were simulated for the New England region over a fifty-year time period (2010 to 2060). Recent Trends scenario (left) displays the annual quantity of land cover and land use change broken down by subregion. The alternative NELFP scenarios (right) display the percent change from recent trends. Figure modified from a previously published figure in Thompson et al. [35].
