Fig 7. Projected change in the climatically-suitable area for the 21 bamboo species by the three model calibrations developed from the WorldClim (WC) and remotely-sensed (RS) datasets using either four for five bioclimatic variables as predictors (WC4, RS4, and RS5).

The projected change is expressed as the ratio of the difference in climatically-suitable area between the future (2061–2080) and baseline climate conditions to the climatically-suitable area for the baseline conditions (the values can be multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage change). Each box and whisker plot includes projections obtained from 17 global climate models (GCMs) and 11 conversion thresholds.
