Global and regional priorities for adaptation of agriculture and biodiversity in the face of climate change.

<p>Global priorities (solid outlines) are areas of overlapping or contiguous agricultural and ecosystem change that appear by mid-century (2050). Regional priorities (broken circles) are areas of agricultural and ecological change that are less extensive and appear only later in the century (2090 scenarios). These global and regional priorities illustrated here are superimposed on a base map of 2090 A2 changes in both crops and restricted-range birds. Areas in which overall decreases are anticipated in crop suitability are shown in green, with increasing color intensity indicating multiple GCM agreement. Areas of declining climatic suitability for restricted-range birds are shown in blue, with increasing color intensity indicating multiple GCM agreement. Overlap of declining crop suitability and declining restricted-range bird climatic suitability is shown in shades of yellow (lowest GCM agreement) to red (highest GCM agreement).
