Aboveground live carbon stock changes of California wildland ecosystems, 2001–2010
- Finds aboveground live carbon stock in California wildlands was 850 ± 230 Tg in 2010
- Finds aboveground live carbon showed a net decrease of 69 ± 15 Tg from 2001 to 2010
- Finds two-thirds of the carbon loss occurred on the 6% of the state burned by wildfire
- Finds remote sensing classification errors accounted for most of the uncertainty
