  1. Rows indicate the temporal- and the spatial coverage of the simulations as well as the atmospheric forcing that was used. Furthermore, they indicate the origin of the initial soil carbon pools (Cinit) and the physical state that was used to initialize the model (Pinit). Finally, the table gives the section in which the simulation is analyzed and the figures in which it is shown.
