Fig. 3: Potential future differences in height by landscape class and climate scenario.
From: A shift in transitional forests of the North American boreal will persist through 2100
Summary for 6 forest gradient classes of ensemble estimates of the potential difference between future and current canopy height predictions across the 4 time periods and CMIP6 climate scenarios (shown with progressively darker shading representing the increasing intensity of emission scenarios). Potential canopy height changes across the boreal-tundra forest gradient are the most positive in landscapes that currently feature the least forest. The 4 boxplots associated with each time period vary in their shading (from left to right, lightest to darkest) in accordance with the severity of the 4 CMIP6 climate scenarios. Boxplots show the median (black line), the lower and upper hinges of the boxplots extend across the interquartile range (IQR), and the whiskers extend from each hinge through to 1.5 * IQR in either direction.
