Comparison at country-scale between P in biomass grazed/mowed from grassland estimated in this study and estimates provided by Demay et al.9. P in biomass grazed/mowed from grassland is defined as GI*fPuptake in our study. Two estimates used in our study are plotted (subscript 1 in green, subscript 2 in blue) as well as the mean of these two estimates (subscript ‘mean’ in black). P in biomass grazed/mowed from grassland in Demay et al.9 (called P harvest from grassland in this reference) is plotted in orange and is an independent estimates. All fluxes are expressed in kgP (ha of grassland)−1. Estimate 1 (respectively estimate 2) corresponds to the min (resp the max) value for all grid-cells within the country considered. “World” (panel (g)) corresponds to the sum of all countries considered in both our estimates and Demay et al.9 and thus excludes few countries not available in Demay et al.9. The number in the left-top corner of each panel corresponds to the root mean square error (kgP (ha of grassland)−1) between orange and black curves for years in common.
