Large carbon sink potential of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon to mitigate climate change

Large carbon sink potential of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon to mitigate climate change

This study uses regional and global remote sensing data to assess the regrowth of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon biome. The authors find differences of regrowth rates due to climate, forest fires and deforestation actions and further quantify their carbon capture potential.
