Fig. 7.

Disturbed and undisturbed development of Net Ecosystem Production (NEP, first row) and Net Ecosystem Carbon Balance (NECB, second row). The undisturbed development is simulated under reference climate in all cases. Future climate projections under the RCP4.5 and 8.5 scenarios are based on seven GCM-RCM combinations; solid lines indicate the multi-model means and envelopes indicate the minimum–maximum range of the seven projections. The pink and red areas indicate the reduced uptake and net C release due to the disturbance, respectively. The green area indicates the increased C uptake after disturbance (legacy sink effect) (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.).
