Abstract
Ecology Tropical forest aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks have yet to recover from the extremely hot and dry weather associated with the 2015–2016 El Nino event. Wigneron et al. used low-frequency microwave satellite data to monitor AGC changes from 2014 to 2017. By the end of 2017, AGC stocks had not reached 2014 predrought levels and continued to decline in some areas. The slow rate of recovery could be due, in part, to enhanced forest mortality and/or unaccounted deforestation and degradation, specifically in African humid forests. Such continuity in long-term records may improve understanding of climate change on ecosystems. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aay4603 (2020).
