Figure 7.8

Growing season moisture deficit (precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration) across Canada for the period 1981–‍2010 and for the period 2041–‍2070 as projected under a high emissions (RCP8.5) scenario. In most areas, increased precipitation is more than offset by increased temperature and associated evaporation, leading to greater moisture deficits.
