The baseline represents the current scenario, while RCPs represent future scenario by 2050 (2040–2060); pixel count is total number of cell in the raster layer within study area (calculated in BiodiversityR package) that represent suitable and unsuitable area for the crops; percent suitability = (suitable pixel×100)/Total pixel; percent loss/gain = (lost/gain pixel×100)/suitable pixel.
