Demands for the decline of CO 2 emissions resulted in a significant transformation of the
energy systems working on carbon sources towards more sustainable, clean, and …

Agriculture and development transform forest ecosystems to human‐modified landscapes.
Decades of research in ecology have generated myriad concepts for the appropriate …

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 …

Climate policy has thus far focused solely on carbon stocks and sequestration to evaluate
the potential of forests to mitigate global warming. These factors are used to assess the …

Deforestation, a significant threat to biodiversity, is accelerated by global demand for
commodities. Although prior literature has linked deforestation to global supply chains, here …

Live woody vegetation is the largest reservoir of biomass carbon, with its restoration
considered one of the most effective natural climate solutions. However, terrestrial carbon …

Human land-use activities have resulted in large changes to the biogeochemical and
biophysical properties of the Earth surface, with consequences for climate and other …

The boreal forest biome is a major component of Earth's biosphere and climate system that
is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century …

A poor understanding of the fraction of global plant biomass occurring belowground as roots
limits our understanding of present and future ecosystem function and carbon pools. Here …

China's terrestrial ecosystems have functioned as important carbon sinks. However,
previous estimates of carbon budgets have included large uncertainties owing to the …
