Global greenhouse gas emissions from animal-based foods are twice those of...
AbstractAgriculture and land use are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but previous estimates were either highly aggregate or provided spatial details for subsectors obtained via...
View ArticleClimate impacts on global agriculture emerge earlier in new generation of...
AbstractPotential climate-related impacts on future crop yield are a major societal concern. Previous projections of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project’s Global Gridded Crop...
View ArticleForest expansion dominates China’s land carbon sink since 1980
AbstractCarbon budget accounting relies heavily on Food and Agriculture Organization land-use data reported by governments. Here we develop a new land-use and cover-change database for China, finding...
View ArticleGreenhouse gas emissions from nitrogen fertilizers
The increasing production and use of nitrogen fertilizers exert extreme pressure on the environment. There are ways to mitigate its harmful impacts without sacrificing food quality and quantity.
View ArticleDiagnosing destabilization risk in global land carbon sinks
AbstractGlobal net land carbon uptake or net biome production (NBP) has increased during recent decades1. Whether its temporal variability and autocorrelation have changed during this period, however,...
View ArticleHydroclimatic extremes contribute to asymmetric trends in ecosystem...
AbstractGross primary production is the basis of global carbon uptake. Gross primary production losses are often related to hydroclimatic extremes such as droughts and heatwaves, but the trend of such...
View ArticleUncertainty in land-use adaptation persists despite crop model projections...
AbstractClimate change is expected to impact crop yields and alter resource availability. However, the understanding of the potential of agricultural land-use adaptation and its costs under climate...
View ArticleSynthesis of the land carbon fluxes of the Amazon region between 2010 and 2020
AbstractThe Amazon is the largest continuous tropical forest in the world and plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. Human-induced disturbances and climate change have impacted the Amazon carbon...
View ArticleEarlier spring greening in Northern Hemisphere terrestrial biomes enhanced...
AbstractThe northern terrestrial biomes are being remarkably altered by climate change. Higher springtime temperature induces the earlier greening of vegetation, which may further influence ecosystem...
