Extended Data Fig. 9: The projected offsetting coefficients (η) of indirect impacts to direct impacts for global cities under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways from 2020 to 2040.
From: Contrasting effects of urbanization on vegetation between the Global South and Global North
a, Estimated η across global cities under SSP1-RCP2.6 scenario. b, The η for cities in different regions across the world. EAS: East Asia and the Pacific, 963 cities; ECS, Europe and Central Asia, 1512 cities; LCN: Latin America and Caribbean, 553 cities; MEA: Middle East and North Africa, 142 cities; NAC: North America, 1202 cities; SAS: South Asia, 80 cities; SSF: Sub-Saharan Africa, 266 cities. The white dots represent the average climatic impact on the EVI weighted by urban areas for each region. The shaded boxes and vertical lines represent the ranges of 25–75% and 10–90%, respectively. c, The probability distribution of η for cities in Global North and Global South. The dotted lines are the average η weighted by urban areas for the GN cities and GS cities. d–f, Same as a–c but for η under the SSP2-RCP4.5 scenario. g–i, Same as a–c but for η under the SSP5-RCP8.5 scenario.
