Forests dominate the interannual variability of the North American carbon sink

Forests dominate the interannual variability of the North American carbon sink

Understanding what drives the interannual variability (IAV) of the land carbon sink is crucial for improving future predictions of this important, yet uncertain, component of the climate system. While drivers of global and hemispheric-scale net ecosystem exchange (NEE) IAV have been investigated, ou...
