Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2

AP Walker, MG De Kauwe, A Bastos… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Historical carbon dioxide emissions caused by land-use changes are possibly larger than assumed

A Arneth, S Sitch, J Pongratz, BD Stocker, P Ciais… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
The terrestrial biosphere absorbs about 20% of fossil-fuel CO2 emissions. The overall
magnitude of this sink is constrained by the difference between emissions, the rate of …

CO2 fertilization of terrestrial photosynthesis inferred from site to global scales

C Chen, WJ Riley, IC Prentice, TF Keenan - Proceedings of the National …, 2022 - pnas.org
Global photosynthesis is increasing with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, a
response known as the CO2 fertilization effect (CFE), but the key processes of CFE are not …

Rapid expansion of northern peatlands and doubled estimate of carbon storage

JE Nichols, DM Peteet - Nature Geoscience, 2019 - nature.com
Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …

Higher climatological temperature sensitivity of soil carbon in cold than warm climates

CD Koven, G Hugelius, DM Lawrence… - Nature Climate …, 2017 - nature.com
The projected loss of soil carbon to the atmosphere resulting from climate change is a
potentially large but highly uncertain feedback to warming. The magnitude of this feedback …

A meta‐analysis of responses of C3 plants to atmospheric CO2: dose–response curves for 85 traits ranging from the molecular to the whole‐plant level

H Poorter, O Knopf, IJ Wright, AA Temme… - New …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Generalised dose–response curves are essential to understand how plants acclimate to
atmospheric CO2. We carried out a meta‐analysis of 630 experiments in which C3 plants …
