30 Jul 2018

Discover why grasslands may be more reliable carbon sinks than forests in California in this video abstract from Pawlok Dass, Benjamin Houlton, Yingping Wang and David Warlind published in Environmental Research Letters (ERL). “California forests appear unable to cope with unmitigated global changes in the climate, switching from substantial carbon sinks to carbon sources by at least the mid-21st century,” writes the team. ERL comes to you from Physics World parent IOP Publishing.
