Tropical forests make an approximately neutral contribution to the global carbon cycle, with
intact and recovering forests taking in as much carbon as is released through deforestation …

Vegetation is a key element in the energy, water and carbon balances over the land
surfaces and is strongly impacted by climate change and anthropogenic effects. Remotely …

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 …

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 …

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and their
redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate …

Abstract NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne
full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest …

Spatial–temporal dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) and forest area affect the carbon
cycle, climate and biodiversity in the Brazilian Amazon. Here we investigate interannual …

Mapping aboveground forest biomass is central for assessing the global carbon balance.
However, current large-scale maps show strong disparities, despite good validation statistics …

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 …
