Deciphering climate-induced displacement in Somalia: A remote sensing perspective

represented by pale orange (watch level), orange (warning level), and dark brown (alert). The purple curve indicates the total agricultural fields lost. As depicted in Fig 13A, the total agriculture fields started to decrease, shown by the upward movement of the purple curve, three months after the onset of drought in February 2016. In 2017, the agricultural fields began to disappear as a drought started in May, and despite an increase in drought intensity from May to July, the agricultural fields did not shrink. This minor reduction in the agricultural fields can be attributed to the natural increase in crop pro- duction that occurs during the agricultural growing season following the Gu growing season, Fig 11. Displacement maps. a. Displacement movements occurred at the district level during drought event between 2016 and 2019; b. Displacement movements occurred at the district level during flood event between 2016 and 2019. The extent coordinates for AOI: 41, 0.3 to 47, 5.4. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0304202.g011 Fig 12.
