GIS Data and Metadata - Interior
Columbia River Basin
These GIS
data are intended to assist users in understanding general patterns in bull
trout distributions and inferring potential alteration of these distributions
with changes in future mean annual air temperatures. The data have been
developed specifically for bull trout and are not intended for use with other
aquatic organisms unless similar linkages with air temperatures can be
established. The data are most appropriate for broad scale displays and
inference (i.e., map scales ~ 1:1,000,000) and should not be applied at finer
scales, where local conditions may cause significant deviations from model
predictions. The lower limit bull trout model predicts accurately (R2 = 0.74) across the Columbia River basin, but has a RMSE of 180 m (RMSE = average
elevation difference between observed values and model predictions). This amount
of error would easily obscure meaningful inference when applied to an individual
stream.
