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 downscaled data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) database, which corresponds to the 6th IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2023). </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><a href="https://adaptwest.databasin.org/pages/adaptwest-climatena/">source</a></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
