Fig. 5: Spatial reduction in oceanic KMCAs over time.

a, b Bivariate map of marine macrofauna contribution to carbon sequestration as a function of macrofauna biomass for the 1950s (a) and the 2010s (b). Colors represent the quantiles of each component. c, d Identification of oceanic KMCA using an upper quartile method in the 1950s (c) and the 2010s (d). KMCA corresponds to both high macrofauna biomass and high contribution of marine macrofauna to carbon sequestration.
