Figure 4. Example of the present-day analogues (from the modern climate grid) for a late Pleistocene packrat midden plant macrofossil assemblage from near Yucca Mountain. The map on the left illustrates the geographic placement of the analogues (characterized by their degree of similarity to the midden assemblage as determined by the Jaccard coefficient). The central and right-hand panels illustrate the placement of the estimated present-day climate (filled square), potential analogues (circles, characterized by degree of similarity), and estimated past climate (filled triangle) in respect to January and July Temperature (central panel) and January and July Precipitation (on logarithmic scale in right-hand panel).
