Forest productivity, not rapid warming, shapes Northern Eurasia's carbon sink‎

Northern Eurasia contains about 20% of the world's forests and plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide, thereby acting as a major carbon sink. However, understanding the region's carbon sink is challenging because it is influenced by multiple interacting factors, including rapid climate change, wildfires, land-use change and limited observational coverage across its vast extent.
