Percent change in vegetation carbon for years 2070-2099 versus 1961-1990 simulated using the MC1 model with MIROC medres climate projections under the A2 anthropogenic emission scenario at a half degree spatial grain over the globe.
Percent change in vegetation carbon for years 2070-2099 versus 1961-1990 simulated using the MC1 model with MIROC medres climate projections under the A2 anthropogenic emission scenario at a half degree spatial grain over the globe.
This is aggregated results from a run of the MC1 model (MC1_GLOBAL version). The GCM data were downscaled to a half degree grid resolution using an anomaly approach. The baseline historical data was based on CRU TS 2.0 climate. For this map percent change was calculated as:
(((Future-Historical)/Historical)*100)
Where Future is the average value for 2070-2099 and Historical is the average value for 1961-1990.
