Land Use Increases the Correlation between Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon Stocks in the Global Tropics

Land Use Increases the Correlation between Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon Stocks in the Global Tropics

Tree cover (TC) and biomass carbon stocks (CS) are key parameters for characterizing vegetation and are indispensable for assessing the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the global climate system. Land use, through land cover change and land management, affects both parameters. In this study, we qua...
