The terrestrial carbon sink
TF Keenan, CA Williams - Annual Review of Environment and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Life on Earth comes in many forms, but all life-forms share a common element in carbon. It is
the basic building block of biology, and by trapping radiation it also plays an important role …

A constraint on historic growth in global photosynthesis due to rising CO2
Abstract Theory predicts that rising CO2 increases global photosynthesis, a process known
as CO2 fertilization, and that this is responsible for much of the current terrestrial carbon …

Increased growing-season productivity drives earlier autumn leaf senescence in temperate trees
Changes in the growing-season lengths of temperate trees greatly affect biotic interactions
and global carbon balance. Yet future growing-season trajectories remain highly uncertain …

CO2 fertilization of terrestrial photosynthesis inferred from site to global scales
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 …

Rubisco deactivation and chloroplast electron transport rates co-limit photosynthesis above optimal leaf temperature in terrestrial plants
Net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate (A n) decreases at leaf temperatures above a
relatively mild optimum (T opt) in most higher plants. This decline is often attributed to …

Perspectives on the future of land surface models and the challenges of representing complex terrestrial systems
Land surface models (LSMs) are a vital tool for understanding, projecting, and predicting the
dynamics of the land surface and its role within the Earth system, under global change …

RETRACTED ARTICLE: A constraint on historic growth in global photosynthesis due to increasing CO2
The global terrestrial carbon sink is increasing,–, offsetting roughly a third of anthropogenic
CO2 released into the atmosphere each decade, and thus serving to slow the growth of …
