Abstract

Tropical deforestation is a significant cause of global carbon emissions and biodiversity loss. A new study shows that deforestation today leaves a carbon and biodiversity debt to be paid over subsequent years. This has potentially profound implications for forest conservation.

摘要

热带森林砍伐是全球碳排放和生物多样性丧失的一个重要原因。一项新的研究表明，今天的森林砍伐会留下碳和生物多样性债务，需要在随后的几年中偿还。这对森林保护可能产生深远的影响。
