From: Relative benefits of allocating land to bioenergy crops and forests vary by region
Differences in a surface air temperature (°C), b relative humidity (%), c surface evapotranspiration (mm year−1), and d net surface radiation (W m−2) averaged over 2081–2100 between the BECCS and AR experiments. Black vertical lines correspond to the gridboxes with a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) according to the Mann-Whitney U test. Differences in e daily maximum surface air temperature at 95th percentile (°C) and f frequencies of days with maximum temperature above 95th percentile (%) estimated in 2081–2100 rel. to 95th percentile of 1995–2014 baseline in BECCS and AR experiments. Black dots indicate the gridboxes with over 20% of 2 G bioenergy crops in 2100. Positive values indicate larger values in the BECCS than in the AR experiment.
