From: The consequences of replacing wildlife with livestock in Africa
Patterns of herbivore biomass change in Africa. (a) Absolute change in herbivore biomass (present – past), and (b) proportional change (present/past) in herbivore biomass in relation to mean annual rainfall. (c) Herbivore biomass excluding elephants in relation to mean annual rainfall. Points (c) represent median values for 10 mm yr−1 rainfall intervals and are shown with locally weighted scatterplot smoothing regression lines (b,c). Figure 1(c) is similar to Fig. 1 in Hempson et al.12, but differs by present biomass including both livestock and wildlife, and by being quantified at 0.5° spatial resolution. The map was generated using R version 3.3.393 (www.R-project.org) and QGIS 2.4.0.94 (www.qgis.org).
