Lemnaceae as a resilient crop to improve food security under climate extremes: global warming and post-catastrophic cooling scenarios

Table 1 Global warming and nuclear winter scenarios considered in the study to assess impacts on duckweed yield

Scenario		Model/data source	Number of years used	Reference
Global Warming	Baseline	GFDL–ESM4 model data from CMIP6 (using ISIMIP3b protocol)	34 years (1981–2014)
	SSP126/RCP2.6 (Low GHG)		36 years (2015–2050)	[39]
	SSP585/RCP8.5 (High GHG)		36 years (2015–2050)
Nuclear Winter	Baseline	ModelE (5 and 47 Tg); WACCM4 (150 Tg)	19 years (with nuclear war occurring in year 5)	[15], Toon et al. [66]
	Target01 (5 Tg soot injection)
	Target05 (47 Tg soot injection)
	Target07 (150 Tg soot injection)
