Fig. 2: Climate change effects on wildfire smoke health costs for all landscapes.
From: Health costs of wildfire smoke to rise under climate change
a Purple markers show reference period (1990–2009) wildfire smoke health costs associated with a single average-sized fire in each landscape across all fuel treatment strategies (n = 49). Orange markers show future (2060–2079) wildfire smoke health costs for the same set of strategies, repeated for all 12 ensemble members (n = 588). See Fig. 1a for case study landscape details. b Range of projected changes in wildfire smoke health costs by 2060–2079 (relative to 1990–2009). Each marker represents an individual landscape. Out of the total 588 combinations of fuel treatment strategy (n = 49) and climate model ensemble member (n = 12), three values are shown: minimum, median and maximum. Each boxplot is based on a single data point for each landscape (centre line = median, box limits = upper and lower quartiles, whiskers = 1.5x interquartile range).
