Fig. 2: Projected differences in annual surface runoff in China under emissions reduction and climate interventions relative to RCP8.5.

From: Divergent impacts of climate interventions on China’s north-south water divide

Fig. 2

a RCP4.5 minus RCP8.5; b SAI minus RCP8.5; c MCB minus RCP8.5; d CCT minus RCP8.5 in the period 2070–2099. Dots indicate differences that are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). The black line denotes the monsoon boundary, the area between red and blue lines denotes the northern monsoon region and the south of blue line denotes the southern monsoon region (see more details in Fig. 1). Each panel includes an inset map showing the South China Sea region to ensure cartographic completeness of China’s territorial boundaries. These insets maintain standard mapping conventions while preserving the main Fig.’s focus on large-scale patterns.
