Jun 13, 2013 · Recent studies show that many of the world’s savannas, including famed southern African landscapes, are experiencing significant change as rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere favor the growth of trees over grasslands. By Adam Welz • June 13, 2013.
Tropical savanna climate or tropical wet and dry climate is a tropical climate sub-type that corresponds to the Köppen climate classification categories Aw (for a dry "winter") and As (for a dry "summer"). The driest month has less than 60 mm (2.4 in) of precipitation and also less than mm of precipitation.
Climate change and extensive land transformation makes the savanna vulnerable to change in future. Mean annual precipitation. Key Questions. Our key questions. How do the forest-grassland-savanna boundaries change by the end of this century under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5?
Jan 31, 2014 · Our regional analyses show that changing climates could set these three savanna regions on different paths of vegetation change. Fig. 4 Hypothetical shifts in aboveground woody biomass on three continents relative to a 4°C increase in mean annual temperature.
