Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

The uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) by terrestrial ecosystems is critical for moderating
climate change. To provide a ground-based long-term assessment of the contribution of …

Commitments to net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets
now cover 88% of countries' emissions. Underlying the accounting behind net-zero …

In 2023, the CO2 growth rate was 3.37±0.11 ppm at Mauna Loa, which was 86% above that
of the previous year and hit a record high since observations began in 1958, while global …

Significant progress in permafrost carbon science made over the past decades include the
identification of vast permafrost carbon stocks, the development of new pan‐Arctic …

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 …

Soil moisture (SM) and vegetation optical depth (VOD) are essential variables in the
terrestrial ecosystem. The multi-frequency radiometers AMSR-E and AMSR2 provide> 20 …

An analysis of fire characteristics in the boreal forests of Siberia (50–75° N, 60–140° E) was
performed for the period 2002–2022. We found a positive trend in the proportion of high …

Studying the forest subsurface is a challenge because of its heterogeneous nature and
difficult access. Traditional approaches used by ecologists to characterize the subsurface …
