Fig. 1: Spatially explicit assessment of climate vulnerability and risk for a single species, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).
From: Operationalizing climate risk in a global warming hotspot
Within each grid cell (here with a nominal resolution of 0.25°) across the native geographic distribution of cod within the study area, 12 standardized climate indices are calculated and used to define the three dimensions of climate vulnerability, presented here as a conceptual Venn diagram: present-day sensitivity (a; blue), projected future exposure (b; red), and innate adaptivity (c; yellow). The dimensions are used to calculate cod’s climate vulnerability (d), and the relative vulnerability scores are translated into absolute climate risk categories for cod at all locations across its distribution (e). Maps were made with Natural Earth using the R statistical computing platform (version 4.3.0).
