Predicted changes in plant aboveground biomass (AGB).

Caption

Changes in AGB by 2100 under the RCP8.5 scenario due to aridity changes (a), nitrogen deposition (b) and the combination of both (c). The overall changes in AGB are summarized in panel d. We include land areas with aridity ≥ 0, i.e., zones where annual precipitation is ≤ potential evapotranspiration (excluding croplands).
