Percent change in vegetation carbon for years 2070-2099 versus 1961-1990 simulated using the MC1 model with Hadley climate projections under the A2 anthropogenic emission scenario at a half degree spatial grain over the globe.

Jun 9, 2011 (Last modified Jun 13, 2011)
Description:
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.
