Cumulative disturbance converts regional forests into a substantial carbon source

Cumulative disturbance converts regional forests into a substantial carbon source

British Columbia’s interior forests (∼400 000 km ^2 ) have experienced severe cumulative disturbance from harvesting, wildfires, and mountain pine beetle (MPB). Estimating their impacts on carbon dynamics is critical for effective forest management and climate-change mitigation strategies. This stud...
