Forests play a critical role as terrestrial carbon sinks in mitigating climate change. However, accurate quantification of soil respiration ( R s )—the primary CO 2 efflux from forests—remains challenging due to existing studies' overreliance on annual‐scale estimates, which obscure fine‐scale spatiotemporal dynamics and key drivers of R s . Here, we developed a 500 m resolution monthly R s dataset for China's forests (2000–20...

Understanding the link between well‐being and carbon emissions is crucial, as demand‐side emission reduction efforts should not compromise living standards. While a nonlinear, threshold‐based relationship between well‐being and carbon emissions has been identified at the national level, empirical evidence at the household or individual level remains limited. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, this study develops a...
