DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nTropical forests are increasingly threatened by 
 human- and climate-induced disturbances\, yet carbon dynamics of this biom
 e remain uncertain due to a lack of long-term spatial observations. Here\,
  we quantified above-ground biomass dynamics in tropical forests during 19
 90-2020 using a new bookkeeping approach that tracks biomass C losses and 
 subsequent gains following disturbances\, with spatially-explicit recovery
  curves.\n\n*Bio*\n\nYidi Xu is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Laborator
 y for Climate and Environmental Sciences in France\, focusing on forest bi
 omass loss and recovery following disturbances using Earth observations. S
 he received her Ph.D. from Tsinghua University\, where her doctoral resear
 ch developed a framework that used remote sensing data and process-based m
 odelling to map oil palm expansion across Southeast Asia and assess its im
 pact on the regional carbon cycle.
