Climate Impacts of Deforestation/Land-Use Changes in Central South America in the PRECIS Regional Climate Model: Mean Precipitation and Temperature Response to Present and Future Deforestation Scenarios
Figure 1
Model domain over central South America. Deforestation (land-use/change scenarios selected for the study. The areas shown in orange represent the land-use/change from forests/savannas to crop fields. The map (b) shows observed land-use changes up to 2002 (MAP1), while the map (c) shows a hypothetical vegetation map for 2030 (MAP2) based on land-use change projections.
