Introduction
This supporting information included the three figures. Figure S1 is the spatial
distribution of SOC density (kg C m-2) in 2010 as estimated by 10 terrestrial biosphere
models; Figure S2 is the spatial distribution of Rh (g C m-2 yr-1) in the 2000s as
estimated by 10 terrestrial biosphere models; Figure S3 is the spatial distribution of
mean residence time (year) as estimated by 10 terrestrial biosphere models.
