a−f Spatial patterns of net changes in soil carbon (kgC m−2) under ‘future climate change & current livestock grazing policy’ (a, c) and ‘future climate change & forage-livestock balance’ (b, d) scenarios. e Rates of change in soil carbon storage (TgC yr−1) by 2060 under different scenarios across five ESM models, with triangles representing the means. Box plots show 25th and 75th percentiles (box borders), medians (central black lines) and data ranges (whiskers). These maps were created using R v4.4.1, with the base map obtained from the National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (https://cstr.cn/18406.11.Geogra.tpdc.270099)67.
