Extended Data Fig. 8: Distribution and sensitivity of peat carbon stock estimates in the central Congo Basin peatland complex.
From: Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data
a, Distribution of 2,000 peat carbon stock estimates, obtained by combining 100 random peat probability thresholds in the peatland extent model and computing the associated RF peat thickness map, with 20 normally-distributed equations from the bootstrapped peat thickness-carbon density regression. Median, 29.0 Pg C; mean, 29.1 Pg C; 95% CI, 26.3–32.2 Pg C. b, Sensitivity analysis by in turn bootstrapping peat area estimates (n = 100), peat thickness measurements (n = 100), or carbon density regressions (n = 20), whilst keeping the other components constant. Central lines show the medians, box limits show the upper and lower quartiles, and the vertical lines show maximum and minimum values. Dots represent potential outlying values.
