CCAB - GAM Model - Suitability for Wheat at High CO2 (gam.wh.suit.highco2.tif)

Images show the projected suitability by GAM models for spring wheat (wh), under

simulations in which plant response to elevated CO2 was assumed to be enhanced

(highco2). The images are expressed as a fraction of 18 scenarios, where 0 means all scenarios show no suitability, and 1 means all scenarios show suitability.
