Satellite-inferred European carbon sink larger than expected

Current knowledge about the European terrestrial biospheric carbon sink, from the Atlantic to the Urals, relies upon bottom-up inventory and surface flux inverse model estimates (e.g. 0.27±0.16 GtC a<sup>&minus;1</sup> for 2000–2005 (Schulze et al., 2009), 0.17±0.44 GtC a<sup>&...
