Statistics were derived from scenario simulated distribution change maps and indicate the percent of the New England region where species occurrence is likely to remain “resistant” to change between 2010 and 2060 across all NELFP scenarios. Overall resistance was based on species simulated persistence for each NELFP scenario, where persistent pixels had > 0.7 occurrence probability in both 2010 and 2060. Resistant pixels were further categorized into resistance classes (constant, increasing, decreasing, and variable) based on change in occurrence probability across the 5 NELFP scenarios.
