Extended Data Fig. 1: Comparison with the results of an Amazon inversion study.

(a) The right-hand side panel shows the air samples collected at the four sites influenced by the regions (light blue lines). The left-hand side panel is a comparison of the average of total carbon flux for four sites from Gatti et al. (ref. 20) and the average of total biomass changes from L-VOD for the influence regions of four sites. Error-bars of carbon flux are uncertainties related to the background and travel time trajectories for each sample used to compose first the monthly mean and later the annual means, while error-bars of ∆TB are the standard deviation of total biomass changes from L-VOD for the influence regions. (b) L-VOD derived mean annual changes in total live biomass carbon density over 2010-2019. (c) Mean annual changes in total live biomass carbon density over 2010-2019 (data from ref. 6). (d) Total forest gross loss fraction over 2010-2019 using the Landsat-based Global Forest Change Data. Panel a reproduced with permission from ref. 20, Springer Nature Limited.
