Fig. 3: Slowdown and acceleration of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

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

Fig. 3

Shown is the annual mean meridional mass stream function in the Atlantic, i.e., the AMOC (contours, in Sv, only values above 4 Sv shown with a 4 Sv interval) for a forest (black) and control (gray) and b grass (black) and control (gray), as well as differences of experiments relative to control (shading, in Sv). Statistically insignificant differences are shown in white, see Methods section. Insets in the bottom right of each panel show standard box plots of the annual mean AMOC index (in Sv) for a forest and control and b grass and control.
