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) …

Background The accuracy in estimating forest ecosystem carbon storage has drawn
extensive attention of researchers in the field of global climate change. However …

Previous evaluations on the biophysical potential of forest carbon sink have focused on
forestation area distribution and the associated carbon stock for equilibrium-state forests …

Natural climate solutions (NCS) are strategies for climate mitigation in the land sector that
increase carbon storage or avoid GHG emissions. Here we estimate China's historic NCS …

The scale of economic growth in China during the past three decades is unprecedented in
modern human history. China is now the world's second largest economic entity, next to the …

The quality of drinking-water supplies is of fundamental importance to public health and
sustainable development. Here, we provide a spatial assessment of the tap-water quality …

Based on the Web of Science Core Collection databases from 1990 to 2018, a scientometric
analysis of 1,284 academic works related to forest carbon sequestration is carried out to …

Forest soils contain a large amount of organic carbon and contribute to terrestrial carbon
sequestration. However, we still have a poor understanding of what nutrients limit soil …

Large-scale afforestation is regarded as an effective natural climate solution. However,
afforestation-induced changes in soil organic C (SOC) are poorly quantified due to the …

Plant and microbial residues are two main sources of soil organic carbon (SOC). While
recent studies have extensively examined the distribution of microbial necromass in different …
