Figure 9. Carbon stock loss through 2050 by scenario and natural land type. Values represent the amount of sequestered CO₂ that will be removed upon development of different types of natural land. Contributions from aboveground vegetation vs. soil are shaded light and dark, respectively. Carbon stock losses decrease approximately linearly with increasing urban density, since land is used more efficiently in scenarios with higher urban densification. Soil carbon-stock loss accounts for approximately 41%-44% of total carbon-stock loss, depending on the scenario. Values are rounded; see Supplementary Table 11 for full precision.
