High economic costs of reduced carbon sinks and declining biome stability in Central American forests

L. Baumbach, T. Hickler, et al.

Discover how climate change could severely impact carbon sequestration and biodiversity in Central American tropical forests, with economic consequences ranging from $51–314 billion per year. This research by Lukas Baumbach, Thomas Hickler, Rasoul Yousefpour, and Marc Hanewinkel highlights the pressing need for a broader focus on ecosystem services beyond just CO2 regulation.
