Fig. 5: Modeled carbon stock and flux trends under RCP scenarios.

From: Future transition from forests to shrublands and grasslands in the western United States is expected to reduce carbon storage

Fig. 5

a Vegetation carbon (VEGC). b Soil organic carbon (SOC). c Net primary productivity (NPP). d Net ecosystem productivity (NEP). e Cumulative net carbon exchange (NCE). The yellow line represents RCP 4.5, while the red line represents RCP 8.5. Carbon trends are statistically significant (p value < 0.05), based on the 20-models aggregation. PFTs are defined in Fig. 1.
