Historical Change In River Discharge due to Deforestation (km3/yr) Gridded fields of changes in discharge due to historical deforestation and conversion to agriculture from Douglas et al. (2005). This historical scenario compared discharge (Q) generated from pre-industrial land cover with discharge derived from contemporary landcover. Change in Q = difference between river discharge (Q) generated from pre-industrial land cover (based on WWF Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (Olson et al., 2001) with river discharge derived from contemporary landcover. Historical and contemporary Q was estimated from flow routed RO generated by the UNH Water Systems Analysis Group Water Balance Model (WBM) at a 30' (lat x long) spatial resolution (Fekete et al. 2002).

Tags: agricultural, biodiversity, deforestation, human vulnerability, hydrology Future relative change in river discharge due to deforestation Gridded fields of the relative change in river discharge representing the ratio of the change in river discharge (delta Q) due to hypothetical future forest conversion to agriculture divided by contemporary Q from Douglas et al. (2005). This dataset compares river discharge (Q) generated from the contemporary landcover with river discharge generated from a hypothetical, 'worst-case' future deforestation scenario. Relative change in Q = change in river discharge (delta Q) due to hypothetical future forest conversion to agriculture divided by river discharge derived from contemporary landcover. Delta Q = difference between river discharge (Q) generated from a hypothetical future forest conversion scenario with river...
