Magnitude of Carbon Emissions and Extinction Debts in the World’s Tropical Forests in 2009

(A) and (B) show results for the Congo Basin, (C) and (D) for the Amazon, and (E) and (F) for SE Asia. See also Table S2.

(A, C, and E) Carbon emissions. Maps display the (log-normal transformed) median carbon tons per hectare left to decay after 2009.

(B, D, and F) Extinction debts. Maps show the (log-normal transformed) median number of forest-specific species committed to extinction as of 2009 due to past tropical deforestation.
