2. GPP of forest ecosystems ≈ 53. 71 ± 4
GPP of forest ecosystems ≈ 53.71 ± 4.83 Pg C yr−1 for the past 30 years
Emissions from forest degradation emissions (2005 – 2010, 74 developing countries, 2.2 billion ha): 2.1 billion tCO2
Mangroves (1,000 tC/ha, 90% in the soil) and peat swamp forests (3,900 tC/ha, 93% in the soil) are among the most C rich ecosystems on earth
