Uncertainty in the response of terrestrial carbon sink to environmental drivers undermines carbon-climate feedback predictions

Abstract Terrestrial ecosystems play a vital role in regulating the accumulation of carbon (C) in the atmosphere. Understanding the factors controlling land C uptake is critical for reducing uncertainties in projections of future climate. The relative importance of changing climate, rising atmospher...
