This is the second year in a row in which the land carbon sink has nearly vanished due to climate-related stressors, and would explain why 2024 saw a record jump in the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Forests, grasslands and other ecosystems on land take up CO₂ from the atmosphere as they grow.
