Deskripsi

Year-to-year variability in atmospheric CO2 is strongly influenced by the terrestrial biosphere. Despite increasing anthropogenic emissions, Keenan et al. report a recent pause in the growth rate of atmospheric CO2using observations and vegetation models, attributed to an enhanced terrestrial carbon sink.
