2016 SoE Land Novel vegetation communities under climate scenarios - 2050 MIROC 5 RCP 8.5

Created 01/02/2017

Updated 09/08/2023

Map showing the degree to which environmental conditions are projected to become sufficiently novel by 2050 to potentially result in the emergence of vegetation communities containing combinations of plant species highly dissimilar from any present-day community on the continent, for the mild Model for Interdisciplinary Research On Climate 5 climate models, under a high-emissions scenario (RCP8.5). Data provided by CSIRO.
