Climate change weakens carbon sinks and further amplifies climate change
This ScienceBrief Review examines the links between climate change (warming) and the carbon cycle where amplifying feedbacks can strengthen climate change. It synthesises findings from more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific articles gathered using ScienceBrief. The evidence suggests that climate cha...
