Papers counted in the census

16 CDR-relevant papers and preprints since 2021 count for the top lists, by pathway: Biochar 15, Cross-cutting CDR 1, BECCS 1, Ocean CDR 1. A paper tagged with two pathways counts in both lists. Preprint and journal version are merged where OpenAlex links them; where it does not, both appear.
