Tropical deforestation continues at alarming rates with profound impacts on ecosystems,
climate, and livelihoods, prompting renewed commitments to halt its continuation. Although it …

The building sector, including building operations and materials, was responsible for the
emission of∼ 11.9 gigatons of global energy-related CO2 in 2020, accounting for 37% of the …

Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Forest ecosystems depend on their capacity to withstand and recover from natural and
anthropogenic perturbations (that is, their resilience) 1. Experimental evidence of sudden …

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) …

After agriculture, wood harvest is the human activity that has most reduced the storage of
carbon in vegetation and soils,. Although felled wood releases carbon to the atmosphere in …

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 …

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 …

Forest ecosystems are strongly impacted by continuing climate change and increasing
disturbance activity, but how forest dynamics will respond remains highly uncertain. Here …

The amount of carbon stored in deadwood is equivalent to about 8 per cent of the global
forest carbon stocks. The decomposition of deadwood is largely governed by climate,,–with …
