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 …

Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink (referred to as terrestrial C sink) is an
important way to slow down the continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Abstract Changes in terrestrial carbon storage under environmental and land-use changes
remain a critical source of uncertainty in regional and global carbon budgets. We generated …

The 2023 Canadian forest fires have been extreme in scale and intensity with more than
seven times the average annual area burned compared to the previous four decades. Here …

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 …

Trees are an integral part in European landscapes, but only forest resources are
systematically assessed by national inventories. The contribution of urban and agricultural …

Trees sustain livelihoods and mitigate climate change but a predominance of trees outside
forests and limited resources make it difficult for many tropical countries to conduct …

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 …

An accurate and spatially explicit estimation of biomass is required for sustainable forest
management, prevention of biodiversity loss, and carbon accounting for climate change …
