Fig. 2: Carbon flux estimates for European regions.

From: Changes in land use and management led to a decline in Eastern Europe’s terrestrial carbon sink

Fig. 2

Average land carbon flux (in Gt C a−1) from inversions (SURF, GOSAT, OCO2), AGB sink estimates (L-VOD, JPL**, WRI**), forest ecosystem models and inventories (EFISCEN, CBM, UNFCCC) and land use bookkeeping model BLUE between 2010 and 2019 a for different regions in Europe (see Supplementary Table 1) and b for Eastern Europe compared to entire Europe (aggregated). Negative values represent a land carbon sink, positive values a land carbon source. Eastern Europe comprises EUR-East and European Russia. Error bars display the standard deviations of the estimates as a measure of the variability across time (see Supplementary Table 2). ** refers to gross carbon sink estimates.
