A Global, Daily Carbon Budget for Terrestrial Ecosystems Constrained by Satellite Observations of Soil Moisture: The SMAP Level 4 Carbon Product at Ten Years

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to retain carbon or sequester more atmospheric carbon is frequently investigated as a potential natural climate solution. However, global carbon inventories, national carbon assessments, and atmospheric inversion studies suffer from key limitations: infrequent estimates, low spatial resolution, or a lack ...
