Mean contributions across the globe (a), mean contributions by city size (b), and mean contributions by continent (c). Error bars are ±1 S.D. Note that “Others” represents the residual component that cannot be explained by these three selected parameters. Note that the error bars represent 10%~90% percentiles.
