Importance of vegetation dynamics for future terrestrial carbon cycling

Importance of vegetation dynamics for future terrestrial carbon cycling

Terrestrial ecosystems currently sequester about one third of anthropogenic CO _2 emissions each year, an important ecosystem service that dampens climate change. The future fate of this net uptake of CO _2 by land based ecosystems is highly uncertain. Most ecosystem models used to predict the futur...
