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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In this Perspective, we put forward an integrative framework to improve estimates of land-
atmosphere carbon exchange based on the accumulation of carbon in the landscape as …

Previous estimates of tropical forest carbon loss in the twenty-first century using satellite data
typically focus on its magnitude, whereas regional loss trajectories and associated drivers …

The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the
ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The …
