This analysis focuses on the A1B and A2 scenarios for California. The state data is broken up into climate zones, and for each zone a statistical analysis will be completed for temperature, precipitation, gross primary productivity (GPP), evapotranspiration (ET), soil runoff, and vapor pressure deficit. The analysis is also broken down into specific watersheds of interest, i.e. the watersheds containing the HetchHetchy Reservoir (Upper Tuolomne watershed), and Ames Research Center (Coyote watershed). Trends produced from this analysis show changes in climate (annual rainfall, dry season length, temperature) and changes to ecosystem functions (GPP, ET) due to predicted land cover changes.
