a Total soil organic carbon (SOC) b Particulate organic carbon (POC), mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) and iron bound organic carbon (Fe-bound OC) concentrations across all soil depths and LUC scenarios. c Fe-bound OC expressed as % of SOC, including all soil depths from 0 to 100 cm. In the box plots, whiskers represent standard deviations, the box shows the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile), the line inside the box indicates the median, and “x” denotes the mean.
