Fig. 8: Predictions of range expansion, contraction and refuge ofCochemiea halei , to 2070. Predicted range changes for the four representative concentration pathways are shown for climate scenarios projected to 2070. Light green areas represent projected areas of range expansion (from 2 to 3 on the scale), red areas represent projected areas of range contraction (from 0 to -1 on the scale). Increasing representative concentration pathways (RCP) are indicated at the top of each map; increased RCP corresponds to increased severity of climate change exposure. (a): RCP 2.6, (b): RCP 4.5, (c): RCP 6.0, and (d): RCP 8.5.
