Comparison between RMQS and either McDowell et al.58, Zhang et al.12, GPASOIL-v0 or GPASOIL-v1.1. RMQS compiled Olsen P with a cropland vs grassland distinction over France. The comparison focuses on the distribution in deciles as the simulations and RMQS were not based on same chemical extraction. All RMQS sites within half-degree grid-cell were averaged, with a distinction between cropland and grassland. Years used for the modelling approach to perform the comparison are given in Table 13. As the number of grid-cells vary between the modelling approach of McDowell et al.58, Zhang et al.12, GPASOIL-v0 or GPASOIL-v1.1, we masked the RMQS dataset according to the mask of each modelling approach output. Note that both RMQS and McDowell et al.58 are based on Olsen P.
