Effect of increasing CO 2 on the terrestrial carbon cycle
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to atmospheric CO 2 concentrations contribute the second-largest uncertainty to projections of future climate. These feedbacks, acting over huge regions and long periods of time, are extraordinarily difficult to observe and quantify directly. We evaluated in situ, atmospheric, and simulation estimates of the effect of CO 2 on carbon storage, subject to mass balance constraints. Multiple lines of evidence suggest significant tropical uptake for CO 2 , approximately balancing net deforestation and confirming a substantial negative global feedback to atmospheric CO 2 and climate. This reconciles two approaches that have previously produced contradictory results. We provide a consistent explanation of the impacts of CO 2 on terrestrial carbon across the 12 orders of magnitude between plant stomata and the global carbon cycle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
