Extreme minimum temperature represents the absolute coldest temperature recorded during the 30-year period, which is relevant because extreme minimum temperatures govern the distribution and structure of mangroves in this region. This temperature map is represented in three zones that are meaningful for mangroves: below -7 (°F) in which mangroves may be killed, between -4 (°F) and -7 (°F) in which mangroves may sustain leaf damage, and above -4 (°F) in which mangroves can thrive. These data were obtained from the AdaptWest Project (2022) and are based on data produced by the PRISM Climate Group (Oregon State University; prism.oregonstate.edu).</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN> <a href="https://adaptwest.databasin.org/pages/adaptwest-climatena/">source</a> </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
