thus forming a relatively complete Poyang Lake water system [16]. The water level in the basin is greatly affected by seasonal change. In winter, the water level is low, with many shallow depressions and shoals, whereas in summer, the water level rises, and many islands, shoals, and dunes...
Forests play a leading role in regional and global terrestrial carbon (C) cycles. Changes in forest carbon stocks are a determinant of the regional carbon budget [27], so assessment of the dynamics in C sinks/sources of forests are critical to the estimation of the regional C budget [5,6...
Loss of irrecoverable carbon cuts into this budget. Irrecoverable carbon represents 20% of the total manageable ecosystem carbon. Globally, 79.0 Gt (57%) of irrecoverable carbon is found in biomass while 60.0 Gt (43%) is in soils. Additional carbon could be both vulnerable and ...
In Sky 2050 a good proportion of these investments and incentives come through the carbon market, both from the domestic emissions trading system and projects channelled through Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Importantly, Brazil has sufficient space in its carbon budget to allow for international...
Pooled data from AR6 suggests a weak yet statistically significant negative relationship between the cumulative removals from BECCS and LULUCF when the carbon budget is controlled (see fitted lines in the left panel of Fig. 1). At the median level, 16% of the emissions removal from a marginal...

The main goal of the paper is to define the level of energy efficiency in the economies of selected countries in the Balkan region that have opted for the EU Green Deal, a circular economy, and a transition to carbon neutrality. Energy efficiency, as a determinant of carbon neutrality, was...
For many years, definition and production of non-renewable resources has been crucial to meeting industrial and societal demands for energy and materials. In the evolving energy transition, the priority is to meet not only the world’s increasing energy requirements but also societal expectations of...
The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of the Arctic as vegetation changes, soils warm, fires become more frequent, and wetlands evolve as permafrost thaws. In this study, we review...
