Figure C-1: The distribution of major biome types as simulated under current climate by the (a) MAPSS and (b) BIOME3 biogeography models.

 

Figure C-2: The potential distribution of major biomes as simulated under the GFDL-R30 2 x CO2 GCM experiment (Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, slab ocean, no sulfate aerosols), by MAPSS, both (a) with and (b) without a direct, physiological CO2 effect.

 

Figure C-3: The potential distribution of major biomes as simulated under the MPI-T106 GCM experiment (Max Planck Institute, 2 x CO2 greenhouse gas radiative forcing, extracted from transient simulation, no sulfate aerosols), by BIOME3, both (a) with and (b) without a direct, physiological CO2 effect.

 

Figure C-4: The potential distribution of major biomes as simulated under the HADCM2SUL GCM experiment (Hadley Center, 2 x CO2 greenhouse gas radiative forcing, extracted from transient simulation, plus sulfate aerosols), by (a) MAPSS and (b) BIOME3. Both models have incorporated a direct, physiological CO2 effect.

 

Figure C-5: The potential distribution of major biomes as simulated under the HADCM2SUL GCM experiment (Hadley Center, 2 x CO2 greenhouse gas radiative forcing, extracted from transient simulation, plus sulfate aerosols), by (a) MAPSS and (b) BIOME3. A direct, physiological CO2 effect is not incorporated in either model.
