Tsinghua University Team Led by Li Wei Reveals Significant Carbon Losses Caused by Small-Scale Tropical Deforestation
Tropical forests, storing nearly half of the Earth's aboveground biomass carbon, are a critical component of the global carbon cycle. However, their biodiversity, carbon stock stability, and ecosystem services are increasingly threatened by human land-use activities, fires, and extreme climate events. Due to high spatial heterogeneity, diverse disturbance types, and complex recovery processes w...
