Influence of climate change and timber harvest on C and N dynamics of a Siberian larch forest stand during the 21st century under the RCP8.5 scenario. a Net C sequestration represented by annual net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB). b Vegetation carbon stocks (VegC). c Total soil organic carbon (TotSOC) stocks. d Annual net primary production (NPP). e Annual litterfall carbon. f Annual heterotrophic respiration (RH). g Annual net N mineralization (NetNMin). h Mean annual air temperature, mean annual soil temperature at 10 cm depth, and maximum monthly soil temperature at 200 cm depth. Permafrost thaw is assumed to occur when the maximum monthly soil temperature at 200 cm depth increases above 0 oC. Timber harvests occurred either in the year 2030 (red lines) or 2070 (blue lines). Carbon and nitrogen dynamics of undisturbed forests (no timber harvest) are represented with the black lines
