Figure 3: Relationships between the human footprint and suitability of land for agriculture.

From: Sixteen years of change in the global terrestrial human footprint and implications for biodiversity conservation

Figure 3

The suitability of land and its relationship to (a) the mean and s.d. of the human footprint in 2009, (b) the spatial extent of five human footprint bins and (c) the mean change and s.d. in the human footprint. The thresholds that define the five human footprint bins in b are set such that each bin covers a similar proportion of the world’s land areas in 2009, with higher pressure bins represented by warmer colours.
