Popul Ecol (2011) 53:119-129
Efforts to model under-story herb impacts began 10 years ago.

Botanical industry needs of NCDC
• Predictive visualization tools enabling growers to adjust species mixes and buyers to better allocate risk geographically
• Collaborate with BCGR and others to determine bioregional climate indicator species among wild medicinal plants
• Translate complex climate change dynamics to human cultural and health impacts that affected industry sectors can grasp
