The global hydrogen budget Open
Hydrogen (H2) will play a part in decarbonizing the global energy system1. However, hydrogen interacts with methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapour, leading to an indirect 100-year global warming potential of 11 ± 4 (refs. 2-5). Thi…

Dynamics and environmental drivers of methane and nitrous oxide fluxes at the soil and ecosystem levels in a wet tropical forest Open
Tropical forests are critical for maintaining the global carbon balance and mitigating climate change, yet their exchange of greenhouse gases with the atmosphere remains understudied, particularly for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).…

Fine root and soil carbon stocks are positively related in grasslands but not in forests Open
Increasing fine root carbon (FRC) inputs into soils has been proposed as a solution to increasing soil organic carbon (SOC). However, FRC inputs can also enhance SOC loss through priming. Here, we tested the broad-scale relationships betwe…

A continental scale analysis reveals widespread root bimodality Open
An improved understanding of root vertical distribution is crucial for assessing plant-soil-atmosphere interactions and their influence on the land carbon sink. Here, we analyze a continental-scale dataset of fine roots reaching 2 meters d…

Mapping the world's inland surface waters: an upgrade to the Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD v2) Open
In recognition of the importance of inland waters, numerous datasets mapping their extents, types, or changes have been created using sources ranging from historical wetland maps to real-time satellite remote sensing. However, differences …

Key Environmental and Ecological Variables of Wetland CH<sub>4</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> Fluxes Change With Warming Open
Wetlands are important ecosystems for the global carbon cycle, impacting regional and global methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) budgets. This study examines how environmental and ecological variables impact wetland CH 4 flux and ne…

A large global soil carbon sink informed by repeated soil samplings Open
Partitioning the terrestrial carbon sink between vegetation and soil is crucial for predicting future climate change, but the role of soils remains poorly quantified. Here, we compiled 3,099 soil organic carbon time series spanning five de…

Continental-scale relationships of fine root and soil carbon stocks hold in grasslands but not forests Open
Increasing root carbon inputs into soils has been proposed as a solution to increasing soil organic carbon (SOC). However, while fine root carbon (FRC) inputs can increase SOC accrual in soils, FRC can also enhance SOC loss by stimulating …
