I think it communicates one mathematical truth pretty succinctly and intuitively.

That that fact is depressing as hell doesn't make it a bad graph.

It would be better if the individual NATO nations were labeled.

It's a little clunky but it gets the point across.

If they were labeled though the wildly different aspect ratios of the boxes makes them hard to compare at a glance.

I'm surprised fungi are so low. I would have expected them to have a larger share relative to plants. But like, I never really thought about global biomass distribution before.

By their estimate plants is mostly trees, and 300 Gt of that 450 is just the tree trunks. Trees are really big.

You can see them easily under the right conditions! Look up at a cloudless sky, and you'll probably see little oblong silhouettes zipping around your field of view. I notice it much more when I'm winded. Those are white blood cells moving through the blood vessels in your eyes!
