In the atmospheric CO2 analysis and forecast, the modelled CO2
fluxes from vegetation are bias corrected based on the optimized fluxes from the CAMS flux inversion system (Agusti - Panareda et al., 2016).

Houghton's method of reconstructing Land - Use Based Net
Flux of Carbon appears arbitrary and susceptible to bias; i.e. «Rates of land - use change, including clearing for agriculture and harvest of wood, were reconstructed from statistical and historic documents for 9 world regions and used, along with the per ha [hectare] changes in vegetation and soil that result from land management, to calculate the annual flux of carbon between land and atmosphere.&ra

flux of carbon between land and atmosphere.»
Turbulent mixing of warm air downward likely more common in recent years due to roughness changes, urbanization, sensible heat
flux from warm, dark, irrigated
vegetation etc..
In all of these simple models, we assume the atmosphere to have a volume as fixed as a bathtub, we assume that the atmosphere / ocean system is a closed system, we assume that the incoming radiation
from the Sun is constant, we assume no turbulence, we assume no viscosity, we assume radiative equilibrium with no feedback lag, we take no account of water vapor
flux assuming it to be constant, no change in albedo
from changes in land use, glacier lengthening and shortening, no volcanic eruptions, no feedbacks
from vegetation.
States that other feedbacks likely to emerge are those in which key processes include surface
fluxes of trace gases, changes in the distribution of
vegetation, changes in surface soil moisture, changes in atmospheric water vapor arising
from higher temperatures and greater areas of open ocean, impacts of Arctic freshwater
fluxes on the meridional overturning circulation of the ocean, and changes in Arctic clouds resulting
from changes in water vapor content
Specific research topics include carbon dioxide, methane and water
fluxes and their reservoirs in
vegetation and soil, transport in atmosphere, and model - data fusion using advanced numerical methods.The research is based on numerical modelling,
from local to global scale with focus on northern regions.
For Europe specifically, it is estimated that the CO2
flux from land
vegetation contributes to reduce the global net
flux associated with atmospheric growth of CO2, but the relative magnitude of this sink has been decreasing since the 1990s (
from capturing 40 % of the global growth previously, to about 20 % now), likely further to changes in the atmospheric transport of heat and humidity over Europe.
Similarly, changes in terrestrial
vegetation, such as the replacement of forests by tundra, feed back into the atmosphere via changes in both albedo and latent heat
flux from evapotranspiration.
