| Description: |
More reliable estimates of carbon (C) stock within forest ecosystems and C emission induced by deforestation are urgently needed to mitigate the effects of emissions on climate change. A process-based terrestrial biogeochemical model was applied to estimate the C budget of tropical ecosystems, including the impacts of land-use conversion, in Southeast Asia. The results indicate that tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia are among the most C-abundant ecosystems in the world. [Source: Biogeosciences Discussions]
