Fig. 5: Changes in the land carbon budget, including BECCS carbon removal.

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

Fig. 5

Changes in the soil (brown), vegetation (green) carbon pools, and BECCS carbon removal, assuming permanently captured carbon fraction from 50 to 90% (light blue to dark blue) in the BECCS and AR SSP5-3.4-OS experiments from the fully coulped simulations and simulations that do not consider climate feedbacks over the 2040–2100 period globally a and regionally bf, and the temporal changes (stacked) in contributors to land carbon budget globally g and regionally hl. Regional allocation of carbon removal by BECCS refers to the location of biomass extraction. LUC emissions are accounted for in the estimates.
