Researchers have constructed a new time series for global carbon emissions from deforestation, reports Phys.org.
The series is the missing link in terms of the improved understanding of the global carbon cycle, and it implies that the natural uptake of CO2 by the land and oceans is more efficient than previously assumed.
The study shows that carbon emissions from deforestation between the 1960s and 1980s were lower than previous studies had assumed.
