Implications of Climate Change for Biodiversity: Maps and Datasets


The AdaptNRM Guide: Implications of Climate Change for Biodiversity: a community-level modelling approach, is accompanied by a series of maps and datasets. These represent supporting materials and information about the community-level biodiversity models applied to climate change. The maps and datasets are organised by four biological groups (vascular plants, mammals, reptiles and amphibians), two climate change scenarios (1990-2050 MIROC5 and CanESM2 for RCP8.5), and six measures of change in biodiversity, including:

  • potential degree of ecological change
  • disappearing ecological environments
  • novel ecological environments
  • change in effective area of similar ecological environments
  • composite ecological change

The maps and datasets are accessible through the CSIRO Data Access Portal (DAP) and links to the specific data collections are provided below.
