Fig. 5

Heat maps representing the number of times a pixel was vegetated over a all 21 images (1972 to 2022), \({N}_{21}\), and b over the last 10 images, \({N}_{{{{\rm{last}}}}10}\), with one image per year 2013 to 2022. The vertical white bars indicate the cumulative carbon stocks down to a 27 g cm−2 mass depth of the sediment cores at the locations corresponding to the bases of the bars.
