Fig. 2: Changes in temperature and cloud base height (CBH) across montane forest in Africa.

From: Deforestation amplifies climate change effects on warming and cloud level rise in African montane forests

Fig. 2

Spatial extent and magnitude of deforestation-induced (a) maximum air temperature (Tmax) and (b) cloud base height change (ΔCBH). Panel c shows the deforestation-induced mean ΔCBH and standard deviation (SD) across 1° latitude intervals. Closer views of ΔCBH over Ethiopia (d), Kenya (e), and central to western parts of eastern Africa (f) are displayed for the corresponding boxes in Panel b. Tropical montane forests extent in Africa (Methods) is used as a background in panels d–f. Administrative boundary data are from Global Administrative Areas (GADM)74.
