Scientific Research Progress｜Associate Professor Feng Yu Analyzes Dynamics of Aboveground Vegetation Carbon Stock in the Tropics and Its Driving Factors
Latest News | 2024-09-13The tropical terrestrial ecosystem
plays a vital role
in global carbon cycling
Changes in aboveground vegetation carbon stock (AGC)
have a significant impact
on the global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration
Therefore,
a deep understanding in the interannual changes of AGC in the tropics and its driving factors
is of great significance
for global carbon cycling research and climate policy development
Recently, Associate Professor Feng Yu from the Environmental Water Science and Technology Team of EIT, partnered with domestic and foreign collaborators, published a research paper titled "Global Patterns and Drivers of Tropical Aboveground Carbon Changes" in Nature Climate Change. This paper, for the first time, detailed the annual loss and recovery processes of aboveground vegetation carbon stocks (AGC) in tropical regions from 2010 to 2020, stressing the dominant role of human activities and hydro-climatic factors in coordinating tropical terrestrial carbon dynamics. It offered a new perspective for understanding global terrestrial carbon cycling and provided important statistical support for responding to the issues of climate change and protecting tropical ecosystems.
