Extended Data Fig. 7: Current land-use patterns in drylands LUH2 (2015) (a), and under shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), SSP1-2.6 (2100) (b), SSP2-4.5 (2100) (c), and SSP5-8.5 (2100) (d).

Colour codes correspond to fraction of grid cell occupied by cropland, pasture, and urban land classes excluding rangeland from low (yellow) to high (blue). Circles show total land cover area of 25 km2 grids occupied by some fraction of land classes above 0% (that is, total fractional land areas). Pink = total fractional land areas in 2015 (a), purple = projected additional total fractional land areas (b-d).
