Allocation of Water in the Current Climate and Two Future Climates with High Carbon Dioxide

Caption

Allocation of water in the current climate and two future climates with high carbon dioxide. Future climate 1: where plant stomata close in response to high carbon dioxide, increasing water in rivers and soils, making the land wetter. Future climate 2: where longer- and warmer-growing seasons and additional plant growth decrease water in rivers and soils, making the land drier.
