From: Microbial contribution to post-fire tundra ecosystem recovery over the 21st century
Percentage change in microbial biomass carbon (each column shows a different microbial functional group) under the four 21st century fire scenarios, and. In the contour plots in columns a–c, the colors represent the percent change in microbial biomass relative to the baseline RCP8.5-no_fire simulations. Depicted are the 20 years post fire for (i) the mild fire scenario and (ii) the severe fire scenario between 2007 and 2028, and (iii) the mild fire scenario and (iv) the severe fire scenario between 2078 and 2100. Note: the percentage change color bars are specific to each panel. The red lines in each contour figure represent the depths depicted in Fig. 6.
