Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink

S Ruehr, TF Keenan, C Williams, Y Zhou, X Lu… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
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 …

Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential

L Mo, CM Zohner, PB Reich, J Liang, S De Miguel… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
