SMOS mission reveals 15-year global forest carbon storage trends

Paris, France (SPX) Aug 05, 2025

Data from ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission is shedding new light on the global carbon cycle by enabling scientists to track how much carbon is stored in forest biomass. A recent study enhances confidence in SMOS-derived data and demonstrates how its long-term observations can support climate monitoring efforts. Forests serve as crucial carbon reservoirs, sequ
