Climate-driven shifts in continental net primary production implicated as a driver of a recent abrupt increase in the land carbon sink

The world’s ocean and land ecosystems act as sinks for anthropogenic CO2, and over the last half century their combined sink strength grew steadily with increasing CO2 emissions. Recent analyses of the global carbon budget, however, have uncovered an abrupt, substantial (∼ 1 PgC yr) and sustained increase in the land sink in the late 1980s whose origin remains unclear. In the absence of this pr...

The manuscript ‘How will organic carbon stocks in mineral soils evolve under future climate? Global projections using RothC for a range of climate change scenarios’ by Gottschalk et al. describes the outcomes of an extensive modelling approach to predict global soil C stocks by end of this century. The authors used a variety of climate predictions and coupled these scenarios with projections of...
