title = "SMOS-IC vegetation optical depth index in monitoring aboveground carbon changes in the tropical continents during 2010-2016",
abstract = "Tropical aboveground carbon changes during 2010-2016 were estimated by a newly developed vegetation optical depth (VOD) product retrieved from the low-frequency L-band (1.4 GHz) passive microwave observations from the Soil Moisture and Ocean salinity (SMOS) satellite. The aboveground carbon changes estimated by VOD in the tropical region during 2010-2016 indicate the tropical region acts as a net carbon source of 111 Tg C yr-1 during 2010-2016. The declines in tropical aboveground carbon were found mainly in eastern America, African drylands and Indonesia.",
