Integrated Global Forest Assessment Crowther Lab To address this controversy, over 200 leading scientists have joined forces to build the first integrated global forest assessment (igfa), published in the journal nature. due to ongoing deforestation, the total amount of carbon stored in forests is ~328 gt below its natural state. Here we used a combination of independent modelling approaches to generate spatially explicit estimates of potential forest biomass worldwide.
Integrated Global Forest Assessment Crowther Lab To address this controversial topic an international team of hundreds of researchers led by the crowther lab at eth zurich joined forces to build an integrated assessment using a comprehensive range of approaches, including vast ground sourced data and satellite datasets. Here we combine several ground sourced and satellite derived approaches to evaluate the scale of the global forest carbon potential outside agricultural and urban lands. By contrasting these diverse approaches and comparing the results against previous evalu ations using a meta analysis, we aimed to provide an integrated assess ment of the natural forest carbon potential. Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system1< sup>. remote sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global forests2 5< sup> are characterized by considerable uncertainty and ….

By contrasting these diverse approaches and comparing the results against previous evaluations using a meta analysis, we aimed to provide an integrated assessment of the natural forest carbon potential. Remote sensing estimates to quantify carbon losses from global forests2–5 are characterized by considerable uncertainty and we lack a comprehensive ground sourced evaluation to benchmark these estimates. Despite regional variation, the predictions demonstrated remarkable consistency at a global scale, with only a 12% difference between the ground sourced and satellite derived estimates.
