Statistics were derived from scenario simulated distribution change maps and indicate the percent of the New England region where species occurrence is likely to “persist” at an occurrence probability > 0.7 between 2010 and 2060. Persistence statistics were based on species occurrence probabilities under the individual NELFP scenarios.
