Fig. 3: Above-ground carbon distributions over different land covers in China in 2019.
From: Substantial contribution of trees outside forests to above-ground carbon across China
The figure shows the spatial distribution of AGC and AGC density across various land cover types and provinces in China. Plots a–c and e depict AGC distribution across different ecosystems, with plot a representing AGC stored in forests, b in grasslands, c in croplands, and e in urban tree areas. Plot d shows the AGC density across different provinces. Plot f provides a violin plot illustrating the distribution of AGC density by land cover type, revealing that forests have the highest median AGC density, followed by croplands, grasslands, and urban areas. Shaded areas in the violin plot denote the 95% confidence interval.
