What's the potential for long-term ecosystem carbon sequestration in the face of climate extremes? This is a question we investigated (led by Emma Rigatti & Sonali McDermid) using the MSTMIP model ensemble (1/n): agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Ecosystem models show that the 20th century Sahelian drought depressed carbon stocks across the West African Great Green Wall domain Carbon fluxes did exhibit some recovery strongly driven atmosp...
Johan rockstram has great short lecture about this... Interesting topic!
Focusing on the Sahel drought, we found that carbon fluxes (e.g., GPP) recovered quickly after the drought, but carbon storage in vegetation and soil had still not recovered 20 years after the peak of the drought (2/n)
