Climate change intensifies carbon emissions from the Earth's Third Pole: Projected trajectories of soil and ecosystem respiration

Key Points

• Carbon emissions are expected to rise significantly due to climate change effects on soil respiration.
• This analysis projects changes in ecosystem respiration under future climate scenarios, noting the role of temperature.
• Observational analysis across various ecosystems at the Earth's Third Pole highlights key respiration metrics.
• Implications underscore the need for further investigation into climate impacts on global carbon cycles.
