Fig. 1: Changes of variables relevant to near-surface weather and climate.

From: Global forestation and deforestation affect remote climate via adjusted atmosphere and ocean circulation

Fig. 1

Panels (a, c, e, g) show changes in forest and b, d, f, h changes in grass compared to control. Variables shown are (a, b) absolute changes of annual mean 2 m temperature (T2M, shading, in °C) and the number of days with a maximum temperature above 30 °C (heat days, +15 days in solid contours and −15 days dashed) and c, d absolute changes of annual mean 10 m wind speed (shading, in ms−1), e, f absolute changes of annual mean total cloud fractions (shading, in %) and low cloud fractions (black contours, shown are −10, −5, 5, and 10% contour levels), and g, h relative changes in annual mean precipitation (shading, in %, note the nonlinear color spacing). Statistically insignificant results are hatched, see Methods section. This Figure was produced using Cartopy, which is licensed under the GNULesserGeneralPublicLicense.
