Fig. 3: The timing and magnitude of carbon sink peak in China.
From: Maximizing carbon sequestration potential in Chinese forests through optimal management
Panel a: the year of carbon sink peak derived from the average of different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios; Panel b: the standard deviation of the peak year; Panel c: the average magnitude of the carbon sink peak derived from different scenarios in g C m−2 yr−1; Panel d: the standard deviation of the carbon sink peak. Results derived from process-based simulations under different tree survival rates (i.e. 47% and 85%) and SSP scenarios. The management practices (i.e. tree replacement and harvest rotation length extension) and wood product pool were not considered or included.
