Estimated land-use/land-cover change in 2004 under two scenarios: lower bound (Left) and upper bound (Right) effects of crop germplasm improvement. Whiskers reflect 95% CIs to uncertainty in the parameters regulating the ease with which yield responds to increases in crop prices, the assumed productivity of the new forests and pastures that enter into production, the ease with which land is transformed from forests and pastures into crops, and the ease with which land switches among crops.
