Growing biomass carbon stock in China driven by expansion and conservation of woody areas - Nature Geoscience

Paris Agreement mandates that signatory countries enhance transparency of their national greenhouse gas inventories.

China ’s inventories have reported substantial forest carbon gains using ground-based forest plot measurements, but independent satellite-based support for such inventories is lacking.

Here we use remote sensing and vegetation modelling to investigate the changes in woody biomass carbon.
