森林的“碳汇饱和”是什么意思?
What does 'carbon sink saturation' of forests mean?
随着森林成熟和氮等养分限制,单位面积年固碳速率会下降,老林趋于碳平衡;此外火灾、虫害与暖干化也会让既有碳汇减弱甚至变碳源。
As forests mature and hit nutrient limits, per-area annual carbon uptake slows and old stands approach equilibrium; fire, pests and warming-drying can also weaken or reverse the sink.

泥炭地面积很小,却储存了多少土壤碳?
Peatlands cover little area—yet how much soil carbon do they store?
泥炭地仅占陆地面积约 3%,却储存了约相当于全部森林两倍多的土壤有机碳(约 30% 的陆地土壤碳),是缓慢积累、极易因排干而释放的“碳宝库”。
Peatlands are ~3% of land but hold over twice the soil carbon of all forests (about 30% of terrestrial soil carbon)—a slowly built, easily released store once drained.

城市里的树木除了固碳,还能靠什么给城市降温?
Besides storing carbon, how do city trees cool the urban area?
树荫遮挡阳光直接降温,叶片蒸腾把液态水变成水汽会带走热量,两者叠加能明显降低局部气温、缓解热岛。
Tree shade blocks sunlight directly, and leaf transpiration turns liquid water into vapor, removing heat; together they lower local temperature and ease the heat island.
