Climate-suitability of baseline tree species used in the determination of tree mortality for future scenarios. Based on Metro Vancouver climate-adapted tree species database prepared by Diamond Head Consulting (2019a, 2019b). Size class was based on species-specific mature tree height: > 15 m (large); 10-15 m (medium); and < 10 m (small). Size information was primarily sourced from Breen 2022; missing information sourced from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (2015), Missouri Botanical Garden ([date unknown]), or Plants For A Future (2022).
