Fig. 4. Latitudinal variation of carbon fluxes of the global vegetation.

Emissions [teragrams carbon (TgC) year^–1] associated with the carbon loss attributed to forest clearing (E_FC), forest clearing (E_FD), and forest and nonforest fire (E_Fire) combined to estimate total carbon loss or committed emissions from live land biomass ($E_{\text{Land}}^B$) from 2001 to 2019. The latitudinal distribution of stock change from annual carbon maps is represented by (∆C), and the total carbon removal derived from the difference of the stock change and the total carbon loss is shown as ($S_{\text{Land}}^B$).
