🌍 Finnish forests are shifting from carbon sink to carbon source. 🌲➡️💨

New studies show they’re now emitting more CO₂ than they absorb. Why? Climate change, land use, and ecosystem shifts may be key factors.

What does this mean for carbon neutrality goals? Can better monitoring and policy interventions help?

ICOSFinland's forests have become a source of carbonThe latest preliminary data from Finland's 2023 greenhouse gas inventory reveals that forests have shifted from being a carbon sink to a carbon source. The latest inventory indicates that forests became a source of carbon in 2021. The change is attributed to increased logging, rising emissions in peatland forests and declining carbon sink of mineral soils.

#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review

"Instead of being a strong sink of carbon, pulling vast amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere, a large chunk of the Arctic region is no longer doing this. Instead, it has become a source of carbon (CO2) which is very concerning."

A third of the Arctic’s vast #CarbonSink now a source of #emissions, study reveals

"For millennia, #Arctic land ecosystems have acted as a deep-freeze for the planet’s carbon, holding vast amounts of potential emissions in the permafrost. But ecosystems in the region are increasingly becoming a contributor to global heating as they release more CO2 into the atmosphere with rising temperatures."
