Fig. 4: Projected carbon uptake and losses from land-use change.
From: Projected landscape-scale repercussions of global action for climate and biodiversity protection
a Global annual CO2 exchange in 2015 as well as 2050 and b cumulative CO2 exchange caused by land-use change between 2015 and 2050. Negative values (dark blue) indicate global carbon losses to the atmosphere in terms of CO2 from the conversion of pasture, forest and non-forest ecosystems, while positive values (light blue) show carbon uptake from regrowth due to land abandonment and reforestation. Orange lines depict the net CO2 exchange between 2015 and 2050.
