Fig. 2: Inundation areas of the top five exposed land-system types by water depth.
From: Development policy affects coastal flood exposure in China more than sea-level rise
The land-system types are shown under different policy and SLR scenarios in 2050 and 2100, assuming current flood protection standards and an interactive effect of 10% of SLR on extreme events. Columns from left to right show the SLR scenarios of low-end (2050 and 2100), mid-range (2050 and 2100) and high-end (2050 and 2100). Rows show policy scenarios. The percentage value in each panel indicates the fraction of the total inundation area represented by the top five land systems shown. Land-system abbreviations: AS, aquaculture system; AV, agricultural hinterland village; CTI, coastal industrial area; HA, high-intensity agricultural area; ILI, inland industrial area; LA, low-intensity agricultural area; LDU, low-density urban area; MA, medium-intensity agricultural area; SU, suburban area; TSA, towns and semi-dense areas; and WTL, wetlands.
