Table 1.
Data used in the simulations.
Fig 1.
Soil carbon pools and fluxes modelled in LPJ-GUESS.
Carbon pools are shown in black. Carbon fluxes are represented by the arrows (green: between soil pools, red: from the soil pools to the atmosphere, blue: from burnt vegetation to the soil)
Fig 2.
Differences in τ between each management option and the baseline scenario, in the management-only simulations - 30-year average before the last clear-cut.
Different shades of green indicate that τ is longer in the baseline than in the other management options, while different shades of orange indicate that it is shorter. Areas where the forest does not reach an average tree height of 5 meters are excluded
Fig 3.
Management option with the longest mean τ.
A: in the ecosystem; B: in the ecosystem, excluding the unmanaged option; C: in the stem; D: in the stem, excluding the unmanaged option; E: in the soil; F: in the soil, excluding the unmanaged option. The mean refers to the last 30 years of the 3rd management cycle, excluding the final clear-cut
Fig 4.
Differences in τ between each management option and the baseline scenario, in the management and climate change simulations - 30-year average before the last clear-cut.
Colour coding as in Fig 2. Areas where the forest does not reach an average tree height of 5 meters are excluded.
Fig 5.
Mean τ (with standard error bars) for each management type, in different climatic zones, for the ecosystem, the stem pool and the soil pool.
A: in the management-only simulations; B: in the management and climate simulations; C: difference between A and B. The mean refers to the last 30 years of the 3rd management cycle, excluding the final clear-cut
Fig 6.
Difference in the mean τ (with standard error bars) between each management option and the baseline scenario, when transitioning from broadleaved-dominated and needle-leaved-dominated grid cells, for the ecosystem, the stem pool and the soil pool.
A: in the management-only simulations; B: in the management and climate simulations; C: difference between A and B. The mean refers to the last 30 years of the 3rd management cycle, excluding the final clear-cut
