Spatial-temporal distribution of cumulative GWP from CH₄ and N₂O emissions in China's NTEs (1980-2020) (IMAGE)
Caption
The left graph illustrates the temporal variations in CH₄ and N₂O emissions from China's natural terrestrial ecosystems over the past four decades. The net GWP remains relatively stable, driven by increasing CH₄ uptake and N₂O emissions. The right map shows the spatial distribution of cumulative global warming potential (GWP) from CH₄ and N₂O emissions in China's natural terrestrial ecosystems from 1980 to 2020. Significant sources are observed in Northeast and South China, while weak sources and sinks are found in North China and the Tibetan Plateau.
