Highlights
Carbon sink despite large deforestation in African tropical dry forests (miombo woodlands)
published in Environmental Research Letters
published in Environmental Research Letters
Fig 1. Distribution of miombo woodlands in sub-Saharan Africa. These cover between 2.7 and 3.6 million km2, including dry miombo, receive less than 1,000mm of annual rainfall and wet miombo, receiving more >1,000mm and having higher tree species diversity.

This is the first field-based large-scale assessment of vegetation changes for the miombo region, using nation-wide re-measured permanent plots for the Republic of Zambia.

Fig 2. Four sensitivity scenarios on the growth rate of forestland remaining forestland. In all cases, we quantified a carbon sink despite large emissions from deforestion over the 2000-2014 period and accounting for uncertainty through error propagation.
