Fig. 3

Modeled relative change (%) in steady-state soil organic carbon (SOC) as a function of temperature (−10 °C to 40 °C) given a certain Yg (e.g., 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 represented by different colors). The dashed lines demonstrated the percentage change of SOC under 5 °C increase in temperature (i.e., 25 °C vs. 20 °C) under a given Yg. The bars represented the 95% confidence interval of Yg based on short-term glucose (STG, blue), short-term cellulose (STC, red), and long-term cellulose (LTC, green) dataset. Parameters except Yg used model default values.
