This review synthesizes the pathways of black carbon from atmospheric deposition to marine sequestration, highlighting the ocean's role in climate mitigation. It contributes to understanding the carbon cycle but has limited direct policy or…

Sinchan Banerjee, Abhisek Santra, Shreyashi S. Mitra

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-…

This paper introduces the Transportation Climate Impact Temperature Score, a simplified formula converting transportation CO₂ emissions into a temperature contribution and a 1-100 score. Using constants from Pratt's FCC model, it offers a t…

Niu Li, Jingwen Gao, Pengcheng Jiang +3

This study assesses the impact of human activities on greenhouse gas emissions from inland waters in a rapidly urbanizing region of China. It reveals that urbanization elevates emissions, providing insights for climate mitigation strategies…

Chen X.

This paper simulates and predicts greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle production. It may provide quantitative insights for emission reduction in the livestock sector, but specific methods and findings are unclear due to lack of abstra…

This paper examines how climate change exacerbates gender inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on the mechanisms through which disasters amplify women's vulnerabilities and widen socio-economic gaps. It underscores the need for gender…

Qingzhou Lv, Hui Yang, Jia Wang +7

This study develops a prior-knowledge-constrained attention U-Net that integrates land-use-specific carbon density to estimate aboveground carbon storage (AGC) across China at 1 km resolution from 2000 to 2020. The model achieves 75.97% acc…

Yuntian Wang, Shide Zhao

This study integrates long-term CO2 emission data (1960-2023) with InVEST ecosystem service models to analyze sectoral impacts on carbon sequestration, water yield, and biodiversity across Chinese regions. Coal emissions dominate and correl…

Jinwen Pan, Siwen Su, Jun Deng +5

This study shows that tree species diversity enhances the transfer of mycorrhizal-derived carbon into mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), thereby stabilizing soil organic carbon in subtropical forests. Higher tree diversity increases …

This paper examines the complex role of rock weathering in Earth's carbon cycle, highlighting its long-term effects on climate and the need for nuanced understanding in climate models.

Mingxing Wang, Chengmeng Zhang, Xing He +3

This review synthesizes theoretical and empirical evidence on how population dynamics (household size/structure, ageing, fertility, migration/urbanization) shape household carbon emissions (HCEs). It finds that household size has a scale ef…
