The apparent prevalence of tropical natural reforestation versus planted trees varies greatly, and it depends on underlying land change processes, recommending a long-term demographic approach to forest-change observation, according to a review of estimates of land use processes.
Different ways to calculate carbon footprints and the implications of choosing one option over another are visualised in an open-access web application that uses a global input-output database to produce Sankey diagrams of carbon flows for 49 world regions between 1995 and 2019.
The summary of Common Era temperature reconstructions in the 2021 Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change insufficiently characterizes reconstruction uncertainties associated with estimating global mean temperatures.
Plasticity and evolutionary changes in phytoplankton phenotypes in the ocean can be better represented by integrating statistical and multi-trait-based numerical models which will help improve predictions of future ecosystem states and ocean carbon cycling.
Conflicting observations on the relationship between Large Igneous Provinces and continental break-up can be accounted for by classifying them based on the extent to which they do or do not influence lithospheric rupture
