The paper analyzes linearity in carbon cascade responses across 16 terrestrial biosphere models under elevated CO2, finding varied non-linear behaviors but overall linear ensemble behavior.

In field records from 3026 tropical sites, modeled bird and mammal seed dispersal disruption predicts slower natural-regrowth carbon accumulation, an estimated 57% average loss at candidate restoration sites.

The paper quantifies a global soil organic carbon sink of 1.83 petagrams per year from 1992 to 2020, driven by extratropical and boreal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of soil conservation for climate mitigation.
