Comparison of different estimates of CO2 emissions from fire (FFire) for Italy and influence of land-cover maps. The left panel shows annual time-series of FFire simulated by two DGVMs (OCN [107] and ORCHIDEE-MICT [41]) based on two LULCC datasets: one forced with LUH2 GCB2021 (blue lines) and HILDA + (yellow lines) for the period 1960 – 2020, the GFED4.1 s remote-sensing based global dataset (think black line) and the NGHGI estimates (thin line with markers). The right panel shows the mean decadal fluxes for individual models (OCN in filled bars and ORCHIDEE-MICT in hatched bars) with the corresponding LULCC forcing, and markers show the corresponding values estimated by GFED4.1 s (squares). The model simulations for the two LULCC forcing datasets were forced with historical CO2, climate and N-deposition (OCN only). Information about the respective LULCC datasets can be found in the Section on Land cover EO datasets and more details about the model simulation protocol and forcing data are provided in the Additional file 1
