  One of the first beings affected by changes in the climate are trees, one of
our most vital resources. In this study tree species interaction and the
response to climate in different ecological environments is observed by
applying a joint species distribution model to different ecological domains in
the United States. Joint species distribution models are useful to learn
inter-species relationships and species response to the environment. The
climates' impact on the tree species is measured through species abundance in
an area. We compare the model's performance across all ecological domains and
study the sensitivity of the climate variables. With the prediction of
abundances, tree species populations can be predicted in the future and measure
the impact of climate change on tree populations.
