Fig. 2: Spatial pattern of forest carbon loss across the tropics.

From: Doubling of annual forest carbon loss over the tropics during the early twenty-first century

Fig. 2

a,b, Mean annual carbon loss during 2001–2005 (a) and 2015–2019 (b). c, Changes in mean annual carbon loss during 2015–2019 relative to the period 2001–2005. Black dots indicate mountain regions defined by Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) inventory data; 1 MgC = 10−9 PgC. Forest carbon loss includes aboveground and (committed) belowground biomass carbon loss and (committed) soil organic carbon loss.
