Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets

Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets

Land-based mitigation for meeting the Paris climate target must consider the carbon cycle impacts of land-use change. Here the authors show that when bioenergy crops replace high carbon content ecosystems, forest-based mitigation could be more effective for CO2 removal than bioenergy crops with carb...
