Tropical forests make an approximately neutral contribution to the global carbon cycle, with
intact and recovering forests taking in as much carbon as is released through deforestation …

Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

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 …

Live woody vegetation is the largest reservoir of biomass carbon, with its restoration
considered one of the most effective natural climate solutions. However, terrestrial carbon …

Map** aboveground forest biomass is central for assessing the global carbon balance.
However, current large-scale maps show strong disparities, despite good validation statistics …

The carbon balance of tropical ecosystems remains uncertain, with top-down atmospheric
studies suggesting an overall sink and bottom-up ecological approaches indicating a …

Abstract NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is a key climate mission
whose goal is to advance our understanding of the role of forests in the global carbon cycle …
