Fig. 4: Change in forest growth rate and its effects on global carbon stocks.

From: Altered growth conditions more than reforestation counteracted forest biomass carbon emissions 1990–2020

Fig. 4

The diagrams show national forest growth rate changes (y-axis) scaled along the cumulated size of the carbon stock in 1990 (x-axis). The area between the graph and the x-axis indicates the C-stock change due to growth rate for total (a), primary (b), and managed forests (c) (see Supplementary Figs. 8–10 for results from sensitivity analyses).
