  1. GPP: gross primary production, NPP: net primary production, FireC: fire carbon emissions, Rh: heterotrophic respiration, VegC: vegetation carbon, τveg; vegetation carbon turnover time, SoilC: soil carbon.
  2. ARanges are 95% confidence intervals as reported in the references; BThe range is the reported annual minimum (2013) and maximum (1997) value39.
