Table 1 Individual and compound climate scenarios considered for addressing the nonlinear response of FT characteristics to individual and compound changes in temperature and snow depth conditions across Québec and at the grid scale.
Scenario description | Type | Notation |
|---|---|---|
Long-term means of temperature and snow depth | Historical baseline (no-change) | (0, 0) |
2 °C cooler compared to the long-term mean | Individual (cooling only) | (− 2, 0) |
10 cm thicker snow compared to long-term mean | Individual (thickening snow cover only) | (0, 10) |
2 °C cooler and 10 cm thicker snow compared to long-term means | Compound (cooling) | (− 2, 10) |
2 °C warmer compared to the long-term mean | Individual (warming only) | (2, 0) |
10 cm thinner snow compared to long-term mean | Individual (thinning snow cover only) | (0, − 10) |
2 °C cooler and 10 cm thicker snow compared to long-term means | Compound (warming) | (2,-10) |
