Figure 2. Growing CAR by 2100

Caption

Projected global change in tidal wetland C sequestration. Results are displayed for moderate-emission scenario (RCP4.5) and high-emission scenario (RCP8.5) under the most restricted human adaptation scenario (i.e. population density threshold set as 5 people km?2; higher population density than this value would have no lateral accommodation space for tidal wetlands), giving the most conservative predicted increases in the global carbon accumulation rates found in this study. The colored shadings represent the 95% range (2.5%-97.5%) of the projected C distribution in global tidal wetlands. The solid lines denote the median of the distribution.
