A global atlas of the distribution of topsoil ARGs. A and B represent the present global distribution of the proportion and richness of soil ARGs, respectively. Numbers associated with the legend of this figure show standardized proportions and richness of topsoil ARGs. The proportion of ARGs was determined as the average standardized proportion of 285 individual ARGs. Our models returned an R2 of 0.92 (for richness) and 0.86 (for relative abundance). Outlier regions in our global survey (> 97.5% quantile of the chi-squared distribution) were not considered in our global atlas and are plotted in white as no data (see Supplementary Fig. 1)
