  1. These are calculated empirically (Fig. 2c and Table 2, Model 3) and calculated according to Eq. 1 from the wood allocation fraction relationship with cNPP (Table 1, model 4). fWa and 2fWbcNPP represent the two terms in Eq. 1 which sum to give dΔCveg,w/dcNPP. The 95% CIs are presented in parentheses for the empirical biomass retention rate
