Predicted changes in soil organic carbon for croplands 1990–2080. The image on the left shows changes due to climate change only while the map on the right shows changes as a result of variations in net primary production and the advent of new technologies related to crop management (e.g. machinery, pesticides, herbicides, agronomic knowledge of farmers) and breeding (development of higher yielding varieties through improved stress resistance and/or yield potential) that result in yield increases.
Arctic sea ice grows to its greatest yearly size in March and melts to its lowest size in September
The rate of change of the 'meteorological water balance', expressed in m3 ha-1 y-1 The map provides an estimate of the increase (red in the map) or decrease (blue in the map) of the volume of water required from irrigation in order to ensure that crop growth is not limited by water stress.

'Contribution to change' plots show the contribution to the total emission change between 1990-2006 made by a specified sector/ pollutant
The graph shows the Inter-annual variation of loggerhead turtle nesting activity (emergences and nests) at Laganas Bay
Due to inconsistencies in the Eurostat data set Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Luxembourg and Lithuania are excluded for all years (efficiencies >100%)
An initial political agreement on the target levels presented here was reached among the Member States at the December 2000 meeting of EU Energy Ministers (Energy Council)
