New research, published in Nature Climate Change , found that the world’s forests sequestered about twice as much carbon dioxide as they emitted between 2001 and 2019. In other words, forests provide a “carbon sink” that absorbs a net 7.6 billion metric tonnes of CO2 per year, 1.5 times more carbon than the United States emits annually.
The study was conducted by an international team of experts and is also supported by the H2020 VERIFY research (Work package 3). Here novel data-driven approaches for integrating different Earth Observation and in-situ sources are explored for increasing the detail and accuracy of spatially-explicit quantification of forest-related carbon sources.
