Mean annual total standing dry matter (a), animal stocking rates (b) and corresponding mean annual precipitation (c) under different imposed drought intensities and durations (Set 1 of climate scenarios). Farming practices considered: baseline practices. ‘1 dry year’: one dry year imposed at year 6; ‘2 dry years’: two consecutive dry years imposed at years 6 and 7, etc. See Appendix S2 for the climate scenarios mean annual precipitation, CVP‐intra and CVP‐inter. CVP‐inter, interannual coefficient of variation of precipitation; CVP‐intra, intra‐annual coefficient of variation of precipitation; TLU, tropical livestock units
