Extended Data Fig. 5: SOC cycling in eroding croplands in scenarios of varying temperature.

From: Temperature effect on erosion-induced disturbances to soil organic carbon cycling

Extended Data Fig. 5

a, Variation of SOC stocks with soil redistribution rates. b, Variation of the normalized SOC stocks with soil redistribution rates. c, Variation of replacement ratio of lost SOC due to erosion in the eroding area with soil redistribution rates and variation of burial efficiency of deposited SOC in the depositional area with soil redistribution rates. d, Variation of the erosion-induced C sink per unit lateral C flux with temperature. 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.
