This review explains the science behind the drive for global net zero emissions and why this
is needed to halt the ongoing rise in global temperatures. We document how the concept of …

Large, majestic trees are iconic symbols of great age among living organisms. Published
evidence suggests that trees do not die because of genetically programmed senescence in …

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 …

To constrain global warming, we must strongly curtail greenhouse gas emissions and
capture excess atmospheric carbon dioxide,. Regrowing natural forests is a prominent …

Avoiding catastrophic climate change requires rapid decarbonization and improved
ecosystem stewardship at a planetary scale. The carbon released through the burning of …

The globally important carbon sink of intact, old-growth tropical humid forests is declining
because of climate change, deforestation and degradation from fire and logging …

Tropical secondary forests sequester carbon up to 20 times faster than old-growth forests.
This rate does not capture spatial regrowth patterns due to environmental and disturbance …

Abstract The Lower Mekong Region (LMR) faces significant loss of mangrove forests, yet
limited studies have explored this decline in the region. Here, we employ Google Earth …

Restoring forest cover is a key action for mitigating climate change. Although monoculture
plantations dominate existing commitments to restore forest cover, we lack a synthetic view …

The Amazon forest contains globally important carbon stocks, but in recent years,
atmospheric measurements suggest that it has been releasing more carbon than it has …
