Extended Data Fig. 4: Range of ecological overshoot across global indicators by year (N = 13).
From: Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance
Data points are individual observations for the ecological indicators in each year (with jitter to avoid overlaps). Each ecological indicator tracks the Earth-system status of its respective planetary boundary in percentage terms, for which zero indicates no overshoot and ranging from the pre-industrial Holocene baseline (*) to an unbounded upper extent of overshoot). For each box plot, the horizontal line and the box represent the median and the interquartile range (IQR) respectively, and the ‘whiskers’ extend to the closest observations greater than/less than 1.5 × IQR. Outliers for extinction rate and hazardous chemicals extend beyond the chart area (900% and 1,410–3,210% depending on the year, respectively).
