Historical impacts of grazing on carbon stocks and climate mitigation opportunities
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01957-9
Grazing has been shown to have diverse effects on soil carbon, with local variation. This study assesses carbon changes related to grazing globally and finds that, although grazing has reduced soil carbon stocks, managing intensity could increase carbon uptake in both soils and vegetation.

Earth system models must include permafrost carbon processes
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 18 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01909-9
Accurate representation of permafrost carbon emissions is crucial for climate projections, yet current Earth system models inadequately represent permafrost carbon. Sustained funding opportunities are needed from government and private sectors for prioritized model development.

Soil organic carbon losses exacerbated by climate extremes
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 22 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01873-4
Both warming and precipitation changes are affecting the global carbon cycle, although the impact of the frequency and intensity of climate extremes on carbon cycling is unclear. Now, research suggests that most extreme events enhance soil organic carbon losses under warming globally.

Community forest governance and synergies among carbon, biodiversity and livelihoods
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 23 November 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01863-6
Forest restoration is emerging as a key climate mitigation strategy. In this study, the authors find that formalized local control and substantive involvement in rule-making are associated with synergies for carbon sequestration, biodiversity and rural livelihoods.

Impact of the 2015–2016 El Niño on the carbon dynamics of South American tropical forests
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01777-3
A network of more than 100 researchers tracked trees for up to 30 years in forest plots across South America, enabling estimation of the impacts of record temperatures and drought on carbon dynamics. The carbon sink in these forests ceased during the 2015–2016 El Niño, with drier forests losing the most carbon.

Seeing carbon dioxide emissions through the trees
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 17 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01719-z
Atmospheric observations can quantify anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, but variability in net land carbon exchange delays the detection of changes. Now, research improves understanding of this variability and allows earlier detection of emissions changes.
