Extended Data Fig. 3: (A) Change, (B) novelty and (C) disappearance of phytoclimates by 2070 under RCP 2.6 for five different Global Circulation Models.
From: Reassessment of the risks of climate change for terrestrial ecosystems
The phytoclimate of the cells is the suitability of the local climate for 14 plant growth forms that characterize the structure of terrestrial ecosystems. (a) Local change in phytoclimate. (b) Novelty of the projected phytoclimate in 2070, expressed as the Euclidean distance of a cell’s future phytoclimate to its closest ambient analogue. (c) Risk of disappearance of the existing phytoclimate, expressed as the Euclidean distance of a cell’s ambient phytoclimate to its closest future analogue.
