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) …

Life on Earth comes in many forms, but all life-forms share a common element in carbon. It is
the basic building block of biology, and by trapping radiation it also plays an important role …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …

The land and ocean absorb on average just over half of the anthropogenic emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO 2) every year. These CO 2" sinks" are modulated by climate change and …

Feedbacks between land carbon pools and climate provide one of the largest sources of
uncertainty in our predictions of global climate,. Estimates of the sensitivity of the terrestrial …

The worldwide historical carbon (C) losses due to Land Use and Land-Use Change
between 1870 and 2014 are estimated at 148 Pg C (1 Pg= 1 billion ton). South America is …

Extreme climatic events and land‐use change are known to influence strongly the current
carbon cycle of A mazonia, and have the potential to cause significant global climate …

The Amazon Basin plays key roles in the carbon and water cycles, climate change,
atmospheric chemistry, and biodiversity. It has already been changed significantly by human …

Resolving regional carbon budgets is critical for informing land-based mitigation policy. For
nine regions covering nearly the whole globe, we collected inventory estimates of carbon …

Key message We review the recent findings on the influence of drought on tree mortality,
growth or ecosystem functioning in tropical rainforests. Drought plays a major role in …
