Appendix S1 The literature list from which SOC data were extracted.
Table S1 Site information and the related SOC density (carbon amount per area)
obtained from 272 studies published during the 2000s.
Fig. S1 Relationships between SOC changes and climatic variables across coniferous
forests (a-b), coniferous/broadleaved mixed forests (c-d), and broadleaved
forests (e-f). SOC density (carbon amount per area) during one period related to
those actual measurements during the other period was predicted on the basis of
an updated ANN model where both MAT and MAP were excluded as input
variables. MAT: mean annual temperature, and MAP: mean annual precipitation.
The thick line is the regression line, and the thin lines are the 95% confidence
interval, with linear function, goodness of fit and P values described above the
line.
