Statistical reconstruction of global vegetation for the last glacial maximum

Density of the two main vegetation types in North Africa for today's climate (a) open shrubland and (b) grassland; (c) and (d), as (a) and (b), but for the LGM with CO2 correction; The red dots in (c) and (d) mark the locations of the corresponding BIOME-6000 data (Harrison, 2017 and reference therein). (e) and (f), differences in open shrubland and grassland between the LGM and today (LGM - today); (g) fraction of vegetation cover for today's climate, the LGM with no CO2 correction and with CO2 correction. The abbreviations used in (g) are: EN, Evergreen Needleleaf Forest; EB, Evergreen Broadleaf Forest; DN, Deciduous Needleleaf Forest; DB, Deciduous Broadleaf Forest; MF, Mixed Forest; WL, Woodland; WGL, Wooded Grassland; CSL, Closed Shrubland; OSL, Open Shrubland; GL, Grassland; BG, Bare Ground.301
