From: Relative benefits of allocating land to bioenergy crops and forests vary by region

Fig. 3

Time evolution of the cumulative NBP flux (GtC), positive to land) over the 2040–2100 period a on a global scale and b over the regions dominated by 2 G bioenergy crops or forest (gridboxes that include >20% of new bioenergy crops/forest in 2100). NBP estimates are given for the fully coupled simulations (solid lines) and simulations that do not consider climate feedbacks (dashed lines) in the BECCS (black) and AR (green) experiments. Spatial distributions of the cumulative c, d NBP and the respective contributions of e, f β and g, h γ feedbacks over the 2040–2100 period in the c, e, g BECCS and d, f, h AR experiments. Black dots indicate the gridboxes with over 20% of 2 G bioenergy crops in 2100.
