Fig. 5: AGC density over different land covers, and AGC density change due to edge effect.
From: Substantial contribution of trees outside forests to above-ground carbon across China
The figure examines the impact of forest edges AGC density across different provinces in China. Plot a presents the AGC density ratio within the 100 m edge of forests across provinces, showing variations in carbon storage at the forest margins. Plot b illustrates the AGC density at different distances from forest edges, showing a clear decline in AGC density as proximity to the forest edge increases. The forest mask applied here was from GLC_FCS30D37,38 in 2019.
