Description:

These data represent predicted future potential distributions of aquatic plants and animals non-native to the Middle-Atlantic region. These data are available for 8-digit HUCs. The data are a weighted proportion of appropriate habitat overlapped by the potential distribution of a given species. Predictive models were built using current geographic distributions; these models were then projected onto a spatially explicit climate-change scenario (Hadley CM2 GSdX20 model), demonstrating potential distributions of non-indigenous species for the Mid-Atlantic region for the 2020s.
