a, b Griscom et al.2, c, d Bastin et al.13, and e, f Walker et al.11. The scale bar to the immediate right of the maps indicates the 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, and 95% land-area percentiles (top to bottom). For comparison to other studies, we also provide estimates in carbon equivalents (Mg Ce, italicized text to the left of the color ramp). Source data for maps are provided as a Source data file (see “Data availability”). Bar charts provide biome-level summaries. There is some additional opportunity that occurred in non-forest biomes (montane grasslands, flooded grasslands, mangroves, and deserts, see Table S2).
