Fig. 4: Losses in crop yields due to land conversion from urban extensification.

From: Dynamic urban land extensification is projected to lead to imbalances in the global land-carbon equilibrium

Fig. 4

Global maps display crop yield losses (metric tons yr−1) for the scenario, including harmonized land cover for Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 5, Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP 6.0), and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory’s Global Circulation Model (GCM) for year 2100. Circular bar plots display losses in crop yields across all SSP-RCP combinations as averages across harmonized and unharmonized land cover and GCMs. Staked area plots represent losses in crop yields, averaged for GCMs and harmonization, for all SSPs for RCP 6.0.
