Table 3 Climate projections: predicted changes in input variables by the end of the 21st century, according to the three radiative forcing scenarios, representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5.
Time frame | Scenario | Air temperature [°C] | Soil temperature [°C] | Net radiation [W m−2] | Upwelling PPFD [µmol m−2 s−1] | Moisture content [m3 m−3] | Wind speed [m s−1] | Wind direction [°] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2021–2100 | RCP2.6 | +1.8 | +0.9 | −2.6 | −15 | −0.02 | – | – |
RCP4.5 | +3.8 | +2.8 | −4.5 | −58 | −0.02 | – | – | |
RCP8.5 | +6.8 | +5.8 | −8.5 | −80 | −0.07 | – | – |
