Fig. 3: Percent variation of the extent of suitable macrophyte habitat globally.
From: Projected loss of brown macroalgae and seagrasses with global environmental change
Brown macroalgae and seagrasses might lose >80% of their global highly suitable habitat (p > 0.9). We calculated global macrophyte habitat suitability using a machine-learning approach (see Methods) for the period 2015–2100. The trajectories show the percentage change in global habitat suitability relative to 2015 (100 × [area2100-area2015]/area2015), aggregated every 5 years. The colour scale indicates different probability (p) thresholds applied to the global suitability maps. Columns show different emissions scenarios and upper and lower panels show brown macroalgae and seagrasses, respectively.
