From: Model structures amplify uncertainty in predicted soil carbon responses to climate change

The relationships between soil C, model parameters, and initial conditions. The linear correlations between soil C or C changes, and initial conditions (Si) and model parameters under RCP 8.5 in the three models. CON is the conventional Century-type model. Blue circles represent positive correlations and red circles represent negative correlations. The size of a circle is determined by the correlation coefficient between model parameters or initial conditions and soil C or C changes. The parameter labels on the top of the figure are for CON and CLM 4.5; the parameter labels at the bottom are for MIMICS. For the meanings of the parameters, please refer to Tables 1 and 2 and Supplementary Table 1
