Description of the dataset: The data provided here includes an r file and a workspace. Note that all data has been loaded into the workspace already. The data is based on simulations of Berchtesgaden National Park using iLand (https://iland-model.org/). Simulations include 22 climate change projections à 20 replicates from year 2020 - 2100. Presented here is the analysis of iLand outputs. Unmodified simulation outputs are extensive in size and can be requested from the corresponding author, Dominik Thom. 2.
