Description: This dataset represents the most current distribution of mangroves in the southeastern United States based on expert knowledge in 2021. These data provide a baseline for continued monitoring of the distribution and abundance of mangroves throughout the southeastern United States and are a significant update to previously best available maps of mangrove distribution. The grid is symbolized in the map with green cells indicating presence of mangroves and gray cells indicating absence of mangroves.

Description: Extreme minimum temperature over 30-year period from 1981 - 2010. 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). <a href="https://adaptwest.databasin.org/pages/adaptwest-climatena/">source</a>

Description: Mean annual precipitation over 30-year period from 1981 - 2010. While warmer temperatures may drive the mangrove range northward, range expansion is limited to the west due to a lack of rainfall. Lower precipitation in coastal areas can increase salinity in coastal waters making them less inhabitable for mangroves. This map shows mean annual precipitation in two zones: less than 995 mm in which the lack of rainfall contributes to higher salinity than is healthy for mangroves, and greater than or equal to 995 mm in which there is sufficient rainfall to keep salinity levels within a healthy range for mangroves. 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). <a href="https://adaptwest.databasin.org/pages/adaptwest-climatena/" target="_blank">source</a>
