Nature – Carle et al. (2025): Aboveground biomass in Australian tropical forests now a net carbon source

Hannah Carle, David Bauman, Michael N. Evans, Ingrid Coughlin, Oliver Binks, Andrew Ford, Matthew Bradford, Adrienne Nicotra, Helen Murphy and Patrick Meir, IN: Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09497-8

Here the authors use long-term forest inventory data (1971–2019) from Australian moist tropical forests and a causal inference framework to assess the carbon balance of woody aboveground standing biomass over time, the demographic processes accounting for it, and its climatic drivers, including cyclones.
