The US Forest Service has developed an interactive
Climate Change Tree Atlas that meshes climate-change models with the needs of tree species.
Because foresters and arborists wait multiple years for a harvest (oh the lovely thoughts of fruit and nuts, and maple syrup, as well as wood products) the USFS model has a longer time frame than
USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.
It seems boggling to imagine doing for garden vegetables what the USFS did for trees, but I can dream.
