From: Major distribution shifts are projected for key rangeland grasses under a high-emission scenario in East Africa at the end of the 21st century

Fig. 1: Changes in bioclimatic variables between the present and the future.

Changes between the future and the present (future, i.e. RCP8.5 at 2071–2100, minus present, i.e. 1981–2010) for a mean annual temperature (Bio 1) in °C, b mean annual diurnal temperature range (Bio 2) in °C, c mean annual temperature seasonality (Bio 4) in °C/100, d mean annual precipitation sum (Bio 12) in millimetres per year, and e mean precipitation sum in the driest month (Bio 14) in millimetres per month. The grey boundary lines indicate physiographic units of East Africa (see Methods and Supplementary Fig. S1). The upward-pointing black triangle indicates the location of Mount Kenya, and the downward-pointing one marks Mount Kilimanjaro.
