Historically inconsistent productivity and respiration fluxes in the global terrestrial carbon cycle

Terrestrial plants sequester carbon through photosynthesis, and that carbon is eventually returned to the atmosphere through respiration by plants and soil microbes. Here the authors show a large, unexpected gap in estimations of these two carbon fluxes.
