Open AccessIdentifying where nature-based solutions can offer win-wins for carbon mitigation and biodiversity across knowledge systems
Managing nature-based solutions (NBS) in urban areas for carbon mitigation and biodiversity outcomes is a global policy challenge, yet little is known about how to both assess and weave diverse knowledge syste...

Open AccessA widely-used eddy covariance gap-filling method creates systematic bias in carbon balance estimates
Climate change mitigation requires, besides reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, actions to increase carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems. A key measurement method for quantifying such sinks and calibrati...
