• Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points (2022, neutral): “A combination of a climate change-induced drying trend, unprecedented droughts, and anthropogenic degradation in the south and east has led to the biome as a whole becoming a net carbon source ( 74 ).”
• Earth beyond six of nine planetary boundaries (2023, neutral): “Examples of large land areas under human use with declining carbon sinks, some even turning into carbon sources, i.e., due to human overexploitation of biomass, are already being observed, for example, in some Amazonian regions ( 34 ) and northern European forests.”
• Safe and just Earth system boundaries (2023, neutral): “Amazon & Tundra (Hubau et al. 2020; de Vrese et al. 2021; Gatti et al. 2021; Winkler et al. 2021), comparisons of the impacts of 1.”
