TL;DR: 12 years of MODIS satellite data are used to quantify net annual changes in the aboveground carbon density of tropical woody live vegetation, providing direct, measurement-based evidence that the world’s tropical forests are a net carbon source.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated ground and Earth observation data to map annual forest-related greenhouse gas emissions and removals globally at a spatial resolution of 30'm over the years 2001-2019.

TL;DR: This work outlines two scenarios for achieving the 50% emission reduction target by 2020, both emphasizing the critical role of Brazil and the need to reverse the trends of increasing carbon emissions from gross tropical deforestation in many other tropical countries that, from 2001 to 2013, have largely offset Brazil's reductions.

TL;DR: A comprehensive accounting of aboveground carbon dynamics inside and outside Amazon protected lands is provided, finding that ITs and PNAs stored more than one-half of the region’s carbon in 2016 but were responsible for just 10% of the net change (−1,290 MtC).

TL;DR: This work combines 30-meter resolution global maps of aboveground woody carbon, tree cover, and cropland extent, as well as a 1-km resolution map of global pasture land, to estimate the current and potential carbon storage of trees in nonforested portions of agricultural lands.
