Fig. 4: Impact of projected future forest loss on annual mean precipitation.
From: Tropical deforestation causes large reductions in observed precipitation
a, Mean forest cover loss over 2015–2100 under Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 3–Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 for the tropics, Amazon, Congo and SEA. b, Impact of projected forest cover loss on precipitation (P; ±1 standard error from the mean). c, Spatial pattern of forest cover loss. d, Predicted P change (∆P) in 2100 due to forest cover loss. Results are shown for 2.0° resolution. Maps of the different regions generated using Cartopy and Natural Earth51.
