Fig. 4: Contributions of different land cover types to gained urban land and radiative forcing.
From: Albedo changes caused by future urbanization contribute to global warming
a Contribution of different land covers to the global total new urban land areas; and b contribution of different land covers to the global total albedo-change-induced warming potential in 2018 relative to 2001(2018–2001), in 2050 relative to 2018 (2050–2018), and in 2100 relative to 2018 (2100–2018). Data for future periods are based on the SSP2-4.5 scenario. Results of SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios are similar to that of SSP2-4.5 and are provided in Supplementary Figs. 5 and 6.
