This study analyzes long-term blue carbon dynamics in the Indian Sundarbans and their drivers, suggesting the region may be approaching a carbon tipping point. It assesses how climate change and anthropogenic pressures affect mangrove carbo…

Yu Bai, Zheng Fu, Josep Peñuelas +12

This dataset provides code and data for Bai et al.'s study showing that increased maximum carbon release offsets half of the growth trend in annual land carbon sink. The research clarifies the relationship between interannual variability of…

Piyu Ke, Philippe Ciais, Yitong Yao +30

Quantifies the global CO2 budget from July 2024 to June 2025 using low-latency data, showing a 6.5% above-average atmospheric growth rate and a weakened land sink. Recovery in early 2025 is method-dependent, with inversions indicating near-…
