The report explains the risks of doing nothing, and outlines a suite of options for increasing demand.
Confronting model predictions of carbon fluxes with measurements of Amazon forests subjected to experimental drought.
Confronting model predictions of carbon fluxes with measurements of Amazon forests subjected to experimental drought.
Considerable uncertainty surrounds the fate of Amazon rainforests in response to climate change. Here, carbon (C) flux predictions of five terrestrial biosphere models (Community Land Model version 3.5 (CLM3.5), Ecosystem Demography model version 2.1 (ED2),...
