Ages and transit times as important diagnostics of model performance for predicting carbon dynamics in terrestrial vegetation models
The global carbon cycle is strongly controlled by the source/sink strength of vegetation as well as the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to retain this carbon. These dynamics, as well as processes such as the mixing of old and newly fixed carbon, have been studied using ecosystem models, but di...
