CHETNA-Traffic
Rohith Teja Mittakola, Philippe Ciais et al.PREPRINT2025
India, a rapidly developing economy with the world’s largest population, has set an ambitious target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. Road transport, contributing to 12% of India’s energy-related CO2 emissions, plays a significant role in exacerbating urban air pollution. Given the country’s swift urbanization and the expansion of road transport to meet mobility demands, CO2 emissions from this sector could potentially double by 20…

Potential and costs required for methane removal to compete with BECCS as a mitigation option
Open AccessYann Gaucher, Katsumasa Tanaka et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025
Methane is the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) causing warming after carbon dioxide, and the emission reductions potentials are known to be limited due to the difficulty of abating agricultural methane. We explore in this study the emerging option of atmospheric methane removal (MR) that could complement carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in mitigation pathways. MR is technologically very challenging and potentially very expens…
Projected shrinking of tropical vegetation biomass potential with future hydroclimatic shifts
Open AccessFélicien Meunier, Marijn Bauters et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025
Global change threatens the carbon stocks stored in tropical ecosystems. However, considerable uncertainty remains regarding the estimates of these future carbon losses. Here, we analysed Earth system model (ESM) simulations to assess future changes in tropical vegetation biomass potential due to shifts in the hydrological cycle. We found that tropical ecosystems could experience substantial decreases in vegetation biomass potential, particularly…

Carbon accumulation rate peaks at 1,000-m elevation in tropical planted and regrowth forests
Open AccessYongxian Su, Xueyan Li et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024
Tropical planted and regrowth forests (TPRFs) are one of the most low-cost components for recovering biomass-stored carbon in the tropics. Nevertheless, challenges persist in pinpointing which elevational ranges exhibit the largest carbon accumulation rate ( γ r a p i d ) due to the highly inconsistent previous assessments. This prevents the selection of optimal locations for implementing large-scale reforestation in the tropics. Here, we propose…

Quantifying albedo impact and radiative forcing of management practices in European wheat cropping systems
Open AccessKe Yu, Yang Su et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024
Management practices that increase the surface albedo of cultivated land could mitigate climate change, with similar effectiveness to practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or favor natural CO 2 sequestration. Yet, the efficiency of such practices is barely quantified. In this study, we quantified the impacts of seven different management practices on the surface albedo of winter wheat fields (nitrogen fertilizer, herbicide, fungicide, so…

Severe decline in large farmland trees in India over the past decade
Open AccessMartin Brandt, Dimitri Gominski et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024Referencias: 6
Agroforestry practices that include the integration of multifunctional trees within agricultural lands can generate multiple socioecological benefits, in addition to being a natural climate solution due to the associated carbon sequestration potential. Such agroforestry trees represent a vital part of India’s landscapes. However, despite their importance, a current lack of robust monitoring mechanisms has contributed to an insufficient grasp of t…

Global irrigation contribution to wheat and maize yield
X Wang, Christoph Müller et al.
Irrigation is the largest sector of human water use and an important option for increasing crop production and reducing drought impacts. However, the potential for irrigation to contribute to global crop yields remains uncertain. Here, we quantify this contribution for wheat and maize at global scale by developing a Bayesian framework integrating empirical estimates and gridded global crop models on new maps of the relative difference between att…

This work presents a new dynamic global vegetation model designed as an extension of an existing surface‐vegetation‐atmosphere transfer scheme which is included in a coupled ocean‐atmosphere general circulation model. The new dynamic global vegetation model simulates the principal processes of the continental biosphere influencing the global carbon cycle (photosynthesis, autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration of plants and in soils, fire, etc.…
The Timing of Biological Carbon Sequestration and Carbon Abatement in the Energy Sector Under Optimal Strategies Against Climate Risks
Open AccessVincent Gitz, Jean-Charles Hourcade et al.ARTICLEThe Energy Journal2006
This paper addresses the timing of the use of biological carbon sequestration and its capacity to alleviate the carbon constraint on the energy sector. We constructed a stochastic optimal control model balancing the costs of fossil emission abatement, the opportunity costs of lands allocated to afforestation, and the costs of uncertain climate damages. We show that a minor part of the sequestration potential should start immediately as a “brake”,…
Global and regional drivers of accelerating CO 2 emissions
Open AccessMichael Raupach, Michael R Raupach et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2007
CO 2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning and industrial processes have been accelerating at a global scale, with their growth rate increasing from 1.1% y −1 for 1990–1999 to >3% y −1 for 2000–2004. The emissions growth rate since 2000 was greater than for the most fossil-fuel intensive of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emissions scenarios developed in the late 1990s. Global emissions growth since 2000 was driven by a cessation or re…
Contributions to accelerating atmospheric CO 2 growth from economic activity, carbon intensity, and efficiency of natural sinks
Open AccessJosep G Canadell, Corinne Le Quéré et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2007
The growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), the largest human contributor to human-induced climate change, is increasing rapidly. Three processes contribute to this rapid increase. Two of these processes concern emissions. Recent growth of the world economy combined with an increase in its carbon intensity have led to rapid growth in fossil fuel CO 2 emissions since 2000: comparing the 1990s with 2000–2006, the emissions growth rate in…
Old-growth forests as global carbon sinks
Open AccessSebastiaan Luyssaert, Gordon R Batcheller et al.ARTICLENature2008
Old-growth forests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at rates that vary with climate and nitrogen deposition. The sequestered carbon dioxide is stored in live woody tissues and slowly decomposing organic matter in litter and soil. Old-growth forests therefore serve as a global carbon dioxide sink, but they are not protected by international treaties, because it is generally thought that ageing forests cease to accumulate carbon. Here we r…

Terrestrial Gross Carbon Dioxide Uptake
Open AccessChristian Beer, Markus Reichstein et al.ARTICLEScience2010
Carbon Cycle and Climate Change As climate change accelerates, it is important to know the likely impact of climate change on the carbon cycle (see the Perspective by Reich ). Gross primary production (GPP) is a measure of the amount of CO 2 removed from the atmosphere every year to fuel photosynthesis. Beer et al. (p. 834 , published online 5 July) used a combination of observation and calculation to estimate that the total GPP by terrestrial pl…

The greenhouse gas balance of European grasslands
Philippe Ciais, Jean‐François Soussana et al.ARTICLE2010
The long-term carbon balance (NBP) of grasslands is estimated by combining scarce multi-year eddy-covariance observations at ecosystem observation sites where information on carbon inputs and harvesting removals is available. Following accounting for carbon leached to rivers, we estimated grasslands to be net carbon sinks of 74±10 g C m−2 yr−1. Uncertainties arise from the small number of sites and the short measurement period. Only 11 sites, out…

The central role of land-use change in the Earth System and its implications for food security, biodiversity and climate has spurred the development of global models that combine economical and agro-ecological drivers and constraints. With such a development of integrated approaches, evaluating the performance of global models of land-use against observed historical changes recorded by agricultural data becomes increasingly challenging. The Nexus…
A theoretical framework for the net land-to-atmosphere CO 2 flux and its implications in the definition of "emissions from land-use change"
Thomas Gasser, Philippe CiaisPREPRINT2013
We develop a theoretical framework and analysis of the net land-to-atmosphere CO2 flux in order to discuss possible definitions of "emissions from land-use change". The terrestrial biosphere is affected by two perturbations: the perturbation of the global Carbon-Climate-Nitrogen system (CCN) with elevated atmospheric CO2, climate change and nitrogen deposition; and the Land-Use Change perturbation (LUC). Here, we progressively establish mathemati…
