Notably, the live biomass carbon changes revealed by L-VOD showed a decreasing trend around 60°N – 65°N during 2016-2022, which coincided with the highest average annual burned area recorded in this region over the same period (Fig. 4h ).
We find that live biomass carbon stocks have undergone a reversal from a positive to a negative trend during the study period with 2016 marking the turning point.
