Fig 6. The approach detected TMCF on coasts and islands.
A closeup example of coastal and island TMCF zones for the island of Puerto Rico for current (A) and projected future conditions (B). Under a moderate greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP-4.5), in <45–65 yr (~2070) all of Puerto Rico’s cloud forest zones would either be below CFmin, suffer RH declines of 3% or more or to below RHmin. Although not depicted in this figure, all of Puerto Rico’s TMCF zones would suffer RH drops of more than 3%, and these RH declines are largest in Western and Central Puerto Rico.
