Over time, carbon sequestered in temperate forests has increased, but the relative effects of passive and active drivers remain unclear. This study uses plot-level data to disentangle the contributions of six drivers (temperature, precipitation, COâ‚‚, management, age composition, and area) to these increases in 14 forest groups of the conterminous United States.
