Variability in atmospheric CO2 concentration (ppm) at rate of 1% per year from pre-industrial values until concentration quadruples for a 130-year long simulation.
variability in anomalies of global land carbon storage (Cland, gC m−2), soil carbon storage (Csoil, gC m−2), vegetation carbon storage (Cveg, gC m−2), annual mean temperature (TAS, K), annual precipitation (PR, mm yr−1) and soil moisture (MRSO, kg m−2) only allowing for the direct CO2 effect.

Same as Figure 2, but for land carbon storage (Cland, gC m−2).
Figure 9.
Six model average of the sensitivities of land carbon storage to climate change and agreement between simulations.
Hatched areas means 4 or more of models agree on the same sign in the change in sensitivities to the rising temperature.
