Climate Projections and California Vegetation

Caption

The climate exposure of 30 California vegetation types under the current time (A) and three future periods: (B) 2011-2039, (C) 2040-2069, and (D) 2070-2099. Red and orange areas above 95 percent are most at risk. Blue areas less than 80 percent exposed are considered climatically suitable. "Lower emissions" are in line with Paris agreement targets; "higher emissions" represent current, business-as-usual trajectories
