Carbon Flux to the Atmosphere from Land-Use Changes

In summary, this database provides estimates of regional and global net carbon fluxes, on a year-by-year basis from 1850 through 2005, resulting from changes in land use (such as harvesting of forest products and clearing for agriculture), taking into account not only the initial removal and oxidation of the carbon in the vegetation, but also subsequent regrowth and changes in soil carbon. The net flux of carbon to the atmosphere from changes in land use from 1850 to 2005 was modeled as a function of documented land-use change and changes in aboveground and belowground carbon following changes in land use.

概而言之，该数据库提供了从1850年至2005年逐年区域及全球净碳通量的估算值，这些净碳通量的变化是由土地利用变化（如森林产品采集和农业用地清理）引起的。在估算过程中，不仅考虑了植被中碳的初始移除和氧化，还包括了后续的植被再生以及土壤碳的变化。从1850年至2005年土地利用变化导致的向大气中净碳通量被视为受记录的土地利用变化以及土地利用变化后地上和地下碳的变化的函数。
