Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from tropical deforestation improved by carbon-density maps
Deforestation contributes 6–17% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere 1. Large uncertainties in emission estimates arise from inadequate data on the carbon density of forests2 and the regional rates of deforestation. Consequently there is an urgent need for...
