             abstract = "Tropical secondary forests sequester carbon up to 20 times faster 
                         than old-growth forests. This rate does not capture spatial 
                         regrowth patterns due to environmental and disturbance drivers. 
                         Here we quantify the influence of such drivers on the rate and 
                         spatial patterns of regrowth in the Brazilian Amazon using 
                         satellite data. Carbon sequestration rates of young secondary 
                         forests (<20 years) in the west are ~60% higher (3.0 ± 1.0 Mg C 
                         ha\−1 yr\−1) compared to those in the east (1.3 ± 
                         0.3 Mg C ha\−1 yr\−1). Disturbances reduce regrowth 
                         rates by 855%. The 2017 secondary forest carbon stock, of 294 Tg 
                         C, could be 8% higher by avoiding fires and repeated 
                         deforestation. Maintaining the 2017 secondary forest area has the 
                         potential to accumulate ~19.0 Tg C yr\−1 until 2030, 
                         contributing ~5.5% to Brazils 2030 net emissions reduction target. 
                         Implementing legal mechanisms to protect and expand secondary 
                         forests whilst supporting old-growth conservation is, therefore, 
                         key to realising their potential as a nature-based climate 
                         solution.",
