Changes in habitat suitability (H.S.) for C4 (top row) and C3 (bottom row) grass species characteristic of the Great Plains Region (GPR). Panels A and D represent present conditions, while B and E depict projected conditions based on the 20-year average climate predicted for the years 2041–2060. Panels C and F show the difference between future and present suitability (∆H.S.). The red outline indicates the boundaries of the Great Plains Region (GPR).
