Abstract

Tropical forests are increasingly threatened by human- and climate-induced disturbances, yet carbon dynamics of this biome remain uncertain due to a lack of long-term spatial observations. Here, we quantified above-ground biomass dynamics in tropical forests during 1990-2020 using a new bookkeeping approach that tracks biomass C losses and subsequent gains following disturbances, with spatially-explicit recovery curves.

Bio

Yidi Xu is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laboratory for Climate and Environmental Sciences in France, focusing on forest biomass loss and recovery following disturbances using Earth observations. She received her Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, where her doctoral research developed a framework that used remote sensing data and process-based modelling to map oil palm expansion across Southeast Asia and assess its impact on the regional carbon cycle.
