Current soil organic accumulation rates are mean rates and uncertainty ranges over the simulation periods till AD 2014 and total rates are area-weighted means. The uncertainty ranges of the “simulation” are from the uncertainty of the parameterization plus the uncertainty from the climate data interpolation. “+” and “−” in SOC and vegetation C columns indicate C accumulation and loss the from AD 2014 to AD 2100.
