A global analysis of climate-driven reversal risks in forests

Chao Wu, Michael L. Goulden, James T. Randerson…·William R. L. Anderegg

This study maps global carbon reversal risks in forests under climate scenarios, finding high risks in certain regions and low in others, with a 31%-42% reversal likelihood over 100 years.

Wildfire drives a net decrease in forest live biomass across the Western United States

Claire M. Zarakas, Grayson Badgley, Michael L. Goulden, James T. Randerson

The paper estimates annual live forest carbon changes in the Western U.S. from 2005 to 2022, finding a 5% decline from 2015 to 2022 due to increased wildfire mortality.
