Fig. 5. The contribution of different regions to the global radiative forcing of grasslands.

Fig. 5

The ‘Total’ column is the total contributions of grassland to the global radiative forcing (RF), accounting for the land-use change induced albedo change related to grassland, land-use change emission (CO2 ELUC) from deforestation to pasture and conversion of grassland to cropland, and the three grassland GHG fluxes (CO2 soil sink, CH4 and N2O). The RF of each component is further divided for managed and sparsely grazed grasslands, and is shown as an empty bar outlined in the same colour with (managed grasslands) and without (sparsely grazed grasslands) hatching, respectively. The uncertainties are 1-sigma standard deviation. The vertical-scale of the regional contribution has been adjusted so that the effects can be easily seen.
