Fig. 2: Percent protection and potential climate driven transitions for ecoregions and biomes.

From: Protected-area targets could be undermined by climate change-driven shifts in ecoregions and biomes

Fig. 2

Percent area within each ecoregion that is currently protected and is projected to transition between ecoregions (a) or biomes (b) based on a global +2 °C warming scenario. Smoothed percent protection and transition percent by latitudinal bands (~4 km bins) are presented to the right of each map. Black areas represent no-analog conditions. Grey represents areas with insufficient data (see methods), water, or ice. An interactive version of this graphic is presented online at https://umlandscapeecology.shinyapps.io/PA_shiny_map/.
