Extended Data Fig. 10: Trajectories of soil nitrogen stocks under two future climate change scenarios from 2024 to 2100.
From: Progressive decline in soil nitrogen stocks with warming in a Tibetan permafrost ecosystem
The DNDC model was performed under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 1-2.6 (SSP1-2.6, low-carbon emissions) and SSP5-8.5 (high-carbon emissions) scenarios to simulate the dynamics of soil N stocks in the top 50 cm (detailed in Supplementary Text Note 5). Green and red lines are multi-model means under SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, and shaded areas represent the standard deviation, calculated from modeling results using meteorological data from three General Circulation Models (that is, EC-Earth3-Veg-LR, ACCESS-CM2 and NorESM2-LM). Green and red donut charts denote that the relative proportions of plant uptake, N leaching and gaseous N emissions to total ecosystem N losses under SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, respectively.
