The role of seasonal compensation effects on mediating the land carbon sink in response to an extreme El Niño event
0
Based on multiple evidence from remote sensing observations, global ecosystem model simulations and atmospheric CO2 inversions, a study led by Dr. Fangzhong Shi and Dr. Xiuchen Wu (Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University) has found continuous vegetation greening and a slight increase in land carbon sink during the maturation phase of the 2015/2016 El Niño event over the Northern Hemisphere.
