7 Climate change consequences on the biome distribution in tropical South America Luis Salazar 1, C. Nobre 1 and M. D. Oyama 2 1 CPTEC/INPE 2 IAE-CTA Geophys. Res. Lett. (2007), 34, L09708, doi: /2007gl029695

9 Consensus between natural biome projections - maps Grid points where more than 75% of the models used (> 11 models) coincide as projecting the future condition of the tropical forest and the savanna in relation with the current potential vegetation. The figure also shows the grid points where a consensus amongst the models of the future condition of the tropical forest was not found. for the periods (a) , (b) and (c) for B1 GHG emissions scenario and (d), (e) and (f) similarly for A2 GHG emissions scenario. ( 2007 ) al. Salazar et

10 Consensus between natural biome projections - statistics Percentage of the area where more than 75% of the experiments for the A2 GHG scenarios, coincide as projecting the permanence or disappearance of the current potential tropical forest, and where there is not a conclusive consensus amongst models ( 2007 ) al. Salazar et

14 Impact of using the new fire parameterization in the biome estimates of the CPTEC Potential Vegetation Model: Major vegetation types: (1) broadleaf-evergreen evergreen trees (tropical forest), (2) broadleaf-deciduous deciduous trees (temperate ( forest (3) broadleaf and needleleaf trees (mixed ( forest (4) needleleaf-evergreen evergreen trees (boreal ( forest (5) needleleaf-deciduous deciduous trees (larch), (6) broadleaf trees with groundcover ( savanna ) (7) groundcover only (prairie, ( steppes (8) broadleaf shrubs with perennial groundcover ( caatinga ) (9) broadleaf shrubs with bare soil (semi-desert) ( desert (10) dwarf trees and shrubs with groundcover ( tundra ) (11) bare soil ( desert ) (13) ice. Accounting for fires corrected important differences between previous model estimates and reference data for the position of natural savannas in the tropics. In specific, large areas in India and SE Asia that were initially estimated as savannas are now corrected to dry forests. Cardoso et al. ( 2007 )
