Fig. 4: 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 illustrates the distribution of AGC across different land cover types and the contribution of low vegetation (vegetation height <5 m) to AGC based on various land use masks. Plot a shows the total AGC (in Pg C) for different land covers, including forests, grasslands, croplands, urban areas, and others, as classified by GLC_FCS30D37,38, GLC1039, ESA40, HILDA + 41,42, HILDA+ with JRC forest mask43. Plot b highlights the proportion of AGC contributed by low vegetation across land covers.
