From: The influence of climate on peatland extent in Western Siberia since the Last Glacial Maximum

Figure 2

The fraction of land that could be occupied by peatlands under present climate (upper left corner), mid-Holocene climate (lower left corner) and climate in 2100 following the RCP 8.5 scenario (upper right corner) and for a given value of WPE (lower right corner), when P/PET = 1.2 and the length of the warm period is 5 months.

The dashed orange line encircles the area within the Tobol river basin where fP simulated for mid-Holocene climate exceeds the present level. The fraction of land that could be occupied by peatlands under LGM climate is not shown, because it has spatially uniform value that equals zero. Made with MapWindow 4.8.8 (http://www.mapwindow.org/), Natural Earth public domain map data (http://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/) and map colors from www.ColorBrewer.org.
