Coloured bars are mean value from the primary forest site data within each GEZ and lines are standard errors. Primary forest sites distinguished as research sites, literature sites and forest inventory sites. Default values include the IPCC within GEZs29 (primary forest values for Europe were used for the temperate GEZs, no data were available for boreal mountain, data from the Americas was used for boreal coniferous, data for Asia for subtropical mountain, and average data for all age categories from Asian, Americas and African for subtropical dry), the modelled GlobBiomass within GEZs97 and the mapped area of primary forest28, and the Forests Europe average for all forest types81,99.
