A Large and Persistent Carbon Sink in the World’s Forests
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The total forest sink estimate is equivalent in magnitude to the terrestrial sink deduced from fossil fuel emissions and land-use change sources minus ocean and atmospheric sinks, with tropical estimates having the largest uncertainties.
