«This amount is in the order of magnitude of the annual net uptake of carbon by the biosphere of the oceans,» notes Markus Reichstein.

As CO2 concentrations increase and climate changes, feedbacks from terrestrial stores of carbon in forests and grasslands, soils, wetlands, peatlands and permafrost, as well as from the ocean, would reduce net uptake of CO2 (Denman et al., 2007 Sections 7.3.3 and 7.3.4).

An increased net uptake of EAAs translates to increased muscle protein synthesis.

From a peak of two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide each year in the 1990s, the net uptake by the forest has halved and is now for the first time being overtaken by fossil fuel emissions in Latin America.

Because the exchange flux is back - and - forth, it has nothing to do with the net uptake by the ocean of new CO2 to the system, which relies on the imbalance between the upward and downward exchange fluxes.

They calculated that the net uptake averages 41 teragrams of carbon per year and determined that at the 90 % confidence level, this result has an uncertainty of about 25 % and an interannual variability of about 20 %, reflecting the fact that some shelf areas can serve as either a carbon source or a carbon sink.
