Evaluating two soil carbon models within the global land surface model JSBACH using surface and spaceborne observations of atmospheric CO2 [PDF]
, 2020 The trajectories of soil carbon (C) in the changing climate are of utmost importance, as soil carbon is a substantial carbon storage with a large potential to impact the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) burden.

Improving carbon cycle projections for better carbon management [PDF]
, 2016 Forests absorb large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store a significant fraction of the carbon in biomass and soils. A March 2016 workshop focused on how best to use modeling approaches, field measurements, and satellite

Arctic Soil Governs Whether Climate Change Drives Global Losses or Gains in Soil Carbon [PDF]
, 2019 Key uncertainties in terrestrial carbon cycle projections revolve around the timing, direction, and magnitude of the carbon cycle feedback to climate change. This is especially true in carbon-rich Arctic ecosystems, where permafrost soils contain roughly

An investigation into linearity with cumulative emissions of the climate and carbon cycle response in HadCM3LC [PDF]
, 2016 We investigate the extent to which global mean temperature, precipitation, and the carbon cycle are constrained by cumulative carbon emissions throughout four experiments with a fully coupled climate-carbon cycle model.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 What will control future rates of climate change? The carbon cycle is the largest contributor to anthropogenic climate change, yet despite decades of research (1), significant mysteries about its behavior remain. Global analyses show that the Earth system absorbs approximately half of anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions.

Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils [PDF]
, 1994 Soil carbon, a major component of the global carbon inventory, has significant potential for change with changing climate and human land use. We applied the Century ecosystem model to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine

The first-order effect of Holocene Northern Peatlands on global carbon cycle dynamics [PDF]
, 2010 Given the fact that the estimated present-day carbon storage of Northern Peatlands (NP) is about 300–500 petagram (PgC, 1 petagram = 1015 gram), and the NP has been subject to a slow but persistent growth over the Holocene epoch, it is desirable to ...
