Although eutrophication is the major concern related to these inputs, the pH of coastal waters is also influenced through the enhanced CO2 uptake from primary production and CO2 release from respiration associated with increased nutrient inputs.

That is because in the oceans, an increase of CO2 uptake reduces the pH, and that has a tremendous influence on the equilibrium reactions which then goes back from carbonate to bicarbonate to free CO2.

Since Co2 uptake is already approaching 5 pgC / yr, even a reduction of 50 % would end the rise of CO2 on any significant level.

The effects of eutrophication on carbonate chemistry can exceed that of OA from anthropogenic CO2 by either increasing pH, when enhanced CO2 uptake by primary producers prevails (Borges and Gypens 2010), or by decreasing pH, where enhanced respiratory CO2 release prevails (Cai et al. 2011), a condition often associated with coastal hypoxia (Feely et al. 2010).

The difference in CO2 uptake is returned as CO2 in the same ocean surface layer by the whole chain of phytoplankton eaters and their predators...

They show the local CO2 variability of where the plants grow, where CO2 levels are changing with the CO2 uptake / release in the main wind direction.

The emissions and their partitioning only include the fluxes that have changed since 1750, and not the natural CO2 fluxes (e.g., atmospheric CO2 uptake from weathering, outgassing of CO2 from lakes and rivers, and outgassing of CO2 by the ocean from carbon delivered by rivers) between the atmosphere, land and ocean reservoirs that existed before that time and still exist today.

As CO2 levels rise, photosynthesis flourishes & plants take in more CO2, sparking more plant growth, photosynthesis & CO2 uptake; a win for Gaia.

The biggest flows out of the atmosphere are photosynthesis on land and CO2 uptake by cold ocean water.

Shifts in the structure of ocean ecosystems can influence the rate of CO2 uptake by the ocean (Bopp et al., 2005).

In general, CO2 uptake and release by the biosphere (through assimilation and respiration / decomposition, respectively) approximately balance over multi-annual timescales.

Emphasis has been on describing photosynthetic CO2 uptake, but less on respiration losses.»

Last but not least, ocean biogeochemistry impacts CO2 uptake in this region as well.

The latter determines the intensity of convection in the ocean and the timescale of deep - ocean processes affecting CO2 uptake and storage.

while either releasing CO2 to or reducing the rate of CO2 uptake from the atmosphere.

Warmer suggests more phytoplankton which suggests more CO2 uptake.

Will a complex of feedbacks lead to a jump in erosion rates, leading to much larger nutrient levels in freshwater and some areas of the ocean, to the point of releasing more CO2 and CH4 while blocking CO2 uptake by the ocean?

Kwon MJ, Heimann M, Kolle O, Luus KA, Schuur EAG, Zimov N, Zimov SA, Göckede M (2016) Long - term drainage reduces CO2 uptake and increases CO2 emission on a Siberian floodplain due to shifts in vegetation community and soil thermal characteristics.

What makes Salby's argument interesting to me is the idea that the rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 uptake should be related to the rate of increase of anthro produced CO2.

Such a trend could be produced by reduced deforestation, increased CO2 uptake or a combination of these.

Is low CO2 uptake related to anomalously high net SW?

December 7, 1978 W.M. Cooper sends a memo to Edward David Jr. detailing the Exxon programs developed to measure CO2 uptake by the various levels of the ocean through equipment on tankers and drilling infrastructure.

BTW, the sinusoidal ripple on the famous Mauna Loa CO2 curves is likely completely due to seasonal changes in average global temperature and the effect that has on CO2 partial pressure (and some due to seasonal biotic changes in CO2 uptake and release).

I would believe that the conductive impact should be evident in the rate of CO2 uptake in the Antarctic, which would explain the lower CO2 concentration shown by the satellite data.

We recently reported on a possible negative carbon feedback of forest soils in higher latitudes: when such soils warm, nutrient availability may increase, as would (therefore) biomass production and CO2 uptake.

Of the sinks, ENSO phenomena appear to play a significant (but transient) role in altering terrestrial CO2 uptake, but I don't know how well that correlates with those early observations.

O.T. but here's another paper for Kenneth to add to the ever growing pile of real research called «Enhanced CO2 uptake at a shallow Arctic Ocean seep field overwhelms the positive warming potential of emitted methane» and is available here http://www.pnas.org/content/114/21/5355.abstract.

Indeed the ocean's surface immediately responds to temperature changes by adjusting the CO2 releases (near the equator) and CO2 uptake (near the poles) and inbetween, depending of its own temperature (like El Niño, Pinatubo,...).
