The key role of forest disturbance in reconciling estimates of the northern carbon sink

The key role of forest disturbance in reconciling estimates of the northern carbon sink

Abstract Northern forests are an important carbon sink, but our understanding of the driving factors is limited due to discrepancies between dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) and atmospheric inversions. We show that DGVMs simulate a 50% lower sink (1.1 ± 0.5 PgC yr−1 over 2001–2021) across No...
