Fig. 2From: Modeling future wildlife habitat suitability: serious climate change impacts on the potential distribution of the Rock Ptarmigan Lagopus muta japonica in Japan’s northern AlpsModel scheme for assessing the impact of climate change on the distribution of Lagopus muta japonica in the alpine zones of central Japan. Abbreviations in this scheme are as follows: WI (warmth index), Warmth Index; TMC (minimum temperature), minimum temperature of the coldest month; PRS (summer precipitation), precipitation of the coldest month; MSW (maximum snowwater), maximum snowwater equivalent (see “Methods” for details)Back to article page
