Figure 4-11 Projected changes in the location of the forest cover under current conditions and with a 2°C warming of the climate. Yellow lines indicate places at 63° F (17° C) on average, under current conditions and after 2° C (3.6° F) global warming. While lines indicate locations averaging 55° F (13° C) now and after 2° C (3.6° F) global warming. Changes are shown for Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge (blue boundary) on Hawai‘i, and the Alakai swamp region on the island of Kaua’i.
