Vegetation Carbon Emissions and Species Losses from the Deforestation of Tropical Forests from 1950 to 2009

(A) Vegetation carbon emissions, separated into those that occurred from deforestation that took place in that year (immediate) versus those that occurred as a result of time lags in the release of carbon from deforestation in previous years (committed).

(B) Species losses, separated into those that have already occurred (loss) and those that will occur as a result of time delays in the extinction of species (debt).

Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals from 100 model replicates. Figures for the Amazon, the Congo Basin, and SE Asia are presented in Figures S2 and S3.
