  • Human activities now fuel two-thirds of global methane emissions

    Open AccessRobert B Jackson, Marielle Saunois et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

  • A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks

    Open AccessHanqin Tian, Rongting Xu et al.ARTICLENature2020

  • The Global Methane Budget 2000–2017

    Open AccessMarielle Saunois, Ann R Stavert et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2020

    Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of CH4 continue to increase, making CH4 the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing, after carbon dioxide (CO2). The relative importance of CH4 compared to CO2 depends on its shorter atmospheric lifetime, stronger warming potential…

  • Global Carbon Budget 2018

    Open AccessCorinne Le Quéré, Robbie M Andrew et al.ARTICLEEarth System Science Data2018

    Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide(CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere,ocean, and terrestrial biosphere – the “global carbon budget” – isimportant to better understand the global carbon cycle, support thedevelopment of climate policies, and project future climate change. Here wedescribe data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components ofthe global carbon budget and their uncertainties. Foss…

  • Reconciliation of top-down and bottom-up CO 2 fluxes in Siberian larch forest

    Open AccessKumiko Takata, Prabir K Patra et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) fluxes by different methods vary largely at global, regional and local scales. The net CO _2 fluxes by three bottom-up methods (tower observation (TWR), biogeochemical models (GTM), and a data-driven model (SVR)), and an ensemble of atmospheric inversions (top-down method, INV) are compared in Yakutsk, Siberia for 2004–2013. The region is characterized by highly homogeneous larch forest on a flat terrain. The ecosystem aro…

  • Regional carbon fluxes from land use and land cover change in Asia, 1980–2009

    Open AccessLeonardo Calle, Josep G Canadell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    We present a synthesis of the land-atmosphere carbon flux from land use and land cover change (LULCC) in Asia using multiple data sources and paying particular attention to deforestation and forest regrowth fluxes. The data sources are quasi-independent and include the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization-Forest Resource Assessment (FAO-FRA 2015; country-level inventory estimates), the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGARv4.…

  • The terrestrial carbon budget of South and Southeast Asia

    Open AccessMatthew Cervarich, Shijie Shu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Accomplishing the objective of the current climate policies will require establishing carbon budget and flux estimates in each region and county of the globe by comparing and reconciling multiple estimates including the observations and the results of top-down atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) inversions and bottom-up dynamic global vegetation models. With this in view, this study synthesizes the carbon source/sink due to net ecosystem productiv…

  • Evaluation of methane emissions from West Siberian wetlands based on inverse modeling

    Open AccessH-S Kim, HS Kim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2011

    West Siberia contains the largest extent of wetlands in the world, including large peat deposits; the wetland area is equivalent to 27% of the total area of West Siberia.This study used inverse modeling to refine emissions estimates for West Siberia using atmospheric CH 4 observations and two wetland CH 4 emissions inventories: (1) the global wetland emissions dataset of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (the GISS inventory), which inc…
