The challenge to identify the biospheric sinks for about half the total carbon emissions from fossil fuels must include a consideration of below‐ground ecosystem processes as well as those more easily measured above‐ground. Recent studies suggest that tropical grasslands and savannas may contribute more to the ‘missing sink’ than was previously appreciated, perhaps as much as 0.5 Pg (= 0.5 Gt) carbon per annum. The rapid increase in availability of productivity data facilitated by the Internet…

The carbon balance of tropical, temperate and boreal forests

Forest biomes are major reserves for terrestrial carbon, and major components of global primary productivity. The carbon balance of forests is determined by a number of component processes of carbon…

Physical and Biological Processes Controlling Soil C Dynamics

Globally, land use change and management have declined soil organic carbon (SOC), thus emitting more CO2 contributing to global warming. Here we review factors that control the fate of soil organic…

Using remote sensing to model carbon source/sink dynamics in the sahel

Recent research has identified the grasslands of the Sahel as a potential carbon sink, but regional carbon stock accounting in such biomes is undermined by the poorly recognized role they play in the…

Using Remote Sensing to Model Carbon Source / Sink Dynamics in the Sahel

Recent research has identified the grasslands of the Sahel as a potential carbon sink, but regional carbon stock accounting in such biomes is undermined by the poorly recognized role they play in the…

Biophysical Aspects of Carbon Sequestration in Drylands

The process of carbon sequestration, or flux of carbon, into soils forms part of the global carbon cycle. Movement of carbon between the soil and the above ground environment is bidirectional and…

Upscaling carbon fluxes over the Great Plains grasslands: Sinks and sources

[1] Previous studies suggested that the grasslands may be carbon sinks or near equilibrium, and they often shift between carbon sources in drought years and carbon sinks in other years. It is…

Terrestrial net primary productivity A brief history and a new worldwide database

Consistent data on terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP) are urgently needed to constrain model estimates of carbon fluxes and hence to refine our understanding of ecosystem responses to climate…

Terrestrial carbon sinks in China and around the world and their contribution to carbon neutrality

Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink (referred to as terrestrial C sink) is an important way to slow down the continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and to…

Climate science: A sink down under

This study investigates the largest uptake of land carbon since atmospheric CO2 measurements began in 1958 and points to an exceptionally large land carbon sink in response to extraordinary La Nina rainfall in semi-arid regions in the Southern Hemisphere.

Impact of Land-Use Change on Grassland Carbon Stocks: An Overview of the Literature

Terrestrial vegetation and soils in the terrestrial biosphere play an active role in shaping the environmental systems of the Earth. An improved understanding of changes in carbon storage of…

Carbon storage by introduced deep-rooted grasses in the South American savannas

ESTIMATES of the global carbon dioxide balance have identified a substantial 'missing sink' of 0.4–4.3 Gt per year1. It has been suggested that much of this may reside in the terrestrial biosphere2.…

Climate Change and Productivity of Natural Grasslands

Natural grasslands, especially in the tropics, urgently need more detailed study in order to determine the response of this undervalued major ecosystem type to possible climate changes. Feedback…

Rapid Exchange Between Soil Carbon and Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Driven by Temperature Change

Comparison of 14C (carbon-14) in archived (pre-1963) and contemporary soils taken along an elevation gradient in the Sierra Nevada, California, demonstrates rapid (7 to 65 years) turnover for 50 to…

A Large Northern Hemisphere Terrestrial CO2 Sink Indicated by the 13C/12C Ratio of Atmospheric CO2

A study of weekly samples from a global network of 43 sites defined the latitudinal and temporal patterns of the two carbon sinks and identified those processes that would cause the terrestrial biosphere to absorb carbon dioxide in such large quantities.

Terrestrial ecosystems and the carbon cycle

The terrestrial biosphere plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. In the 1994 Intergovernmental Panel Assessment on Climate Change (IPCC), an effort was made to improve the quantification…

It is concluded that there is insufficient information to predict accurately the response of primary production to climate change, and mechanistic models of production compound the errors associated with individual process responses with uncertainties surrounding interaction and scaling up.

Possibilities for carbon sequestration in tropical and subtropical soils

Soil organic matter is a key component of all terrestrial ecosystems, and any variation in its composition and abundance has important effects on many of the processes that occur within the system.…

Terrestrial carbon storage resulting from CO2 and nitrogen fertilization in temperate grasslands

A temperate grassland model has been used to simulate carbon sequestration under various environmental conditions. The results suggest that the CO2 and nitrogen fertilization that has occurred may…

The C stored in soils is nearly three times that in the aboveground biomass and approximately double that in the atmosphere. Reliable estimates have been difficult to obtain due to a lack of global…
