Global patterns and changes of carbon emissions from land use during 1992-2015.

ABSTRACT: Carbon emissions from land use (E _LUC) are an important part of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, but its size and location remain uncertain, and our knowledge of the relationship between E _LUC and GDP remains partial. We showed that the carbon emissions directly caused by land use change (direct E _LUC) during 1992-2015 was 26.54 Pg C (1.15 Pg C yr^-1), with a decreased trend and a net reduction rate of -0.15 Pg C yr^-1. The areas that exhibited reductions were concentrated in South America, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia, and those with increments were scattered in Northwestern North America, Eastern South America, Central Africa, East Asia, and parts of Southeast Asia. For the indirect carbon emissions fr
