Fig. 5: Relationships between changes in species richness and the degree of land-use change, contribution to carbon sequestration, and GDP per capita.

From: The choice of land-based climate change mitigation measures influences future global biodiversity loss

Fig. 5

a The degree of land-use change in 2090. b Contribution to carbon sequestration from 2005 to 2090. c GDP per capita in 2090. Changes in species richness were calculated as ([NS2090 – NScurrent]/NScurrent), where NScurrent and NS2090 indicate the current number of species and the number in 2090, respectively. Black dots and line indicate values and regression line for the baseline scenario, red dots and line indicate values and regression line for the 2C-Aff scenario, and blue dots and line indicate values and regression line for the 2C-BECCS scenario. Each dot means 17 economic regions in AIM/Hub.
