Predicted spatial distributions and temporal trends of microbial-derived carbon stocks

Caption

(a) Global map of the predicted MDC stock distribution for the year 2018, along with the changes from 1981 to 2018. The white areas in the left panel and the dark areas in the right panel are the areas with low confidence projections. (b) The relative rates of change in MDC stocks as percentages per annum and per degree Celsius. The dark areas are the areas with low confidence projections. (c) Status of MDC stocks between 1981 and 2018. Bivariate plot comparing the relative rate of change in MDC stock (% per year) against the quantity of MDC stocks. The status categories for the rate of change were determined using confidence intervals, while the MDC stock status groups were established based on quantile distributions (divided into three equal parts). The white areas are the areas with low confidence projections.
