Table 3.
The statistical comparison of model results across China during 2010–2081.
| Scenarios | Elements of comparison | CM1 | CM2 | CM3 | CM4 | CM5 | CM6 | CM7 | CM8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RCP45 | Slope (Pg C/y) | 10.44 | 10.81 | 39.44 | 26.78 | 22.32 | 31.63 | 25.02 | 24.18 |
| R | 0.999 | 0.995 | 0.911 | 0.843 | 0.996 | 0.995 | 0.997 | 1.000 | |
| RCP85 | Slope (Pg C/y) | 7.94 | 7.84 | 19.02 | 27.78 | 12.13 | 14.92 | 17.83 | 20.03 |
| R | 0.986 | 0.978 | 0.950 | 0.808 | 0.979 | 0.990 | 0.989 | 1.000 |
Note: CM1–CM8 are HadGEM2-CC, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, IPSL-CM5A-MR, IPSL-CM5B-LR, MPI-ESM-LR, MPI-ESM-MR and MMRFE model. Slope is the linear change slope of total carbon storage from 2010 to 2081. R is a correlation coefficient between MMRFE and CMIP5 raw models' outputs.
