Extended Data Fig. 4: SOC cycling in eroding croplands in scenarios of various C decomposition rates.
From: Temperature effect on erosion-induced disturbances to soil organic carbon cycling
a, Variation of SOC stocks with soil redistribution rates. b, Variation of the normalized SOC stocks with soil redistribution rates. c, Variation of replace ratios of lost SOC due to erosion in the eroding area with soil redistribution rates and variation of burial efficiencies of deposited SOC in the depositional area with soil redistribution rates. d, Variation of the erosion-induced total C sink per unit lateral C flux with C decomposition rates. In a, b and c, the negative values of soil redistribution rate indicate erosion, while the positive values indicate deposition. In b, the SOC stock of each soil profile is normalized by being divided by the SOC stock of the reference sites not subjected to erosion or deposition.
