Figure 5
Variance-based global sensitivity analysis of the coastal land loss model as a function of time for different EU countries. For each year considered, the width of each patch indicates the fraction of the variance of the coastal land loss projections (in the absence of ambient shoreline changes) that could be removed if the respective input parameter was known. White areas indicate interactions between parameters. The 1st order Sobol indices presented here are calculated as the weighted average of the country’s regions (with respect to the sandy coastline length). The total potential sandy coastline length (EUROSION or SDSB) is indicated at the top right corner of each graph. On the bottom right an EU average plot shows the average values over all of Europe.
