Fig. 1: Spatial distribution and time series of land use and land cover change (LULCC).

From: Land-use induced changes in extreme temperature predominantly influenced by downward longwave radiation

Fig. 1

a The spatial distribution of the combination of forest and non-forest change caused by LULCC during the historical period (1995–2014) is expressed as a percentage. b The same as (a), but for the combination of grazing land and cropland. c The same as (a), but during the future period (2080–2099). d The same as (c), but for the combination of grazingland and cropland. e Time series of changes of the five land use categories (forest, non-forest, grazing land, cropland, and urban land) caused by LULCC in the mid-high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere from 1850 to 2099, expressed as a percentage. f The same as (e), but in the tropics. The shade represents the historical period and the future period, respectively.
