Figure 4.2. Relative Loss of Biodiversity of Vascular Plants between 1970 and 2050 as a Result of Land Use Change for Different Biomes and Realms in the Order from Strength Scenario

(S10.2)

Extinctions will occur between now and sometime after 2050, when populations reach equilibrium with remaining habitat. Note that the biomes in this Figure are from the IMAGE model (see Figure 4.3) and are slightly different from the biomes mentioned elsewhere in this report.
