Figure 3: Performance plots at different weightings of C-stocking potential weightings.

From: Spatial optimization of carbon-stocking projects across Africa integrating stocking potential with co-benefits and feasibility

Figure 3

The performance of the 5% top-ranked planning units (yellow areas in Fig. 2) when the C-stocking potential was differently weighted (3, 6, 12, 24, 48, Carbon only; x-axis) in Zonation analyses is shown. (a) ‘Potential Carbon’—the total additional C biomass that could be stored in all 5% top-ranked planning units. (b–d) Biodiversity ‘Mean Richness’—the mean richness per 5% top-ranked planning unit. (e–g) Biodiversity ‘Total Richness’—the taxon richness summed across all 5% top-ranked planning units. (h) Groundwater recharge, (i) land-use value and (j) governance were averaged across all 5% top-ranked planning units in the landscape. The C-stocking potential map was generated by 90% QR on the Saatchi data set, and the ABF cell removal rule was used in Zonation analyses.
