Siberian carbon sink reduced by forest disturbances
Siberian forests are generally thought to have acted as an important carbon sink over recent
decades, but exposure to severe droughts and fire disturbances may have impacted their …

Deforestation-induced climate change reduces carbon storage in remaining tropical forests
Biophysical effects from deforestation have the potential to amplify carbon losses but are
often neglected in carbon accounting systems. Here we use both Earth system model …

The effectiveness of global protected areas for climate change mitigation
Forests play a critical role in stabilizing Earth's climate. Establishing protected areas (PAs)
represents one approach to forest conservation, but PAs were rarely created to mitigate …

Changes in land use and management led to a decline in Eastern Europe's terrestrial carbon sink
Land-based mitigation is essential in reducing net carbon emissions. Yet, the attribution of
carbon fluxes remains highly uncertain, in particular for the forest-rich region of Eastern …

The overlooked contribution of trees outside forests to tree cover and woody biomass across Europe
Trees are an integral part in European landscapes, but only forest resources are
systematically assessed by national inventories. The contribution of urban and agricultural …
