Fig. 6

Changes in the total permafrost area across the world as projected by the study’s future simulations. The width of the line represents the maximum and minimum values of the simulated results forced by the five GCMs; the average value is represented by the bold lines. The simulations with the improved (left) and conventional (right) schemes under RCP2.6 (blue) and RCP8.5 (red) scenarios are shown. Values on the vertical axis were determined by setting the permafrost area at the initial year (2005) of the future simulations to 1.0
