The Earth’s terrestrial ecosystem is a critical carbon reservoir at risk of transitioning from carbon sinks to sources amidst large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies aimed at combating climate change. In this study, the authors use a fully coupled Earth system model to simulate atmospheric CO₂ concentrations dropping abruptly from current levels to the pre-industrial level.
