Informing forest carbon inventories under the Paris Agreement using ground‐based forest monitoring data Human interactions with forests have shaped Earth's climate for millennia and will continue to do so as we target net-zero emission goals. Accurately characterizing these climate impacts requires mak....

New publication! Here, we develop a semi-automated process for submitting forest carbon measurements from the global forest C database (ForC) to the IPCC's Emission Factor Database, which currently has sparse forest C data.
