Exploring the responses of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to land use conversion or reversion is significant for taking effective land use measures to alleviate global warming. A global meta-analysis was conducted to analyze the responses of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions to land use conversion or reversion, and determine their temporal evolution, driving factors, and poten-
