Climate change increases the fraction of emissions that remain airborne by
suppressing ocean uptake, enhancing soil respiration and reducing plant NPP.
Not exact matches
al. correctly predict that the land surface will warm more than the
ocean surface, and that the southern
ocean warming would be temporarily
suppressed due to the slower
ocean heat
uptake.
• Climate change alone will tend to
suppress both land and
ocean carbon
uptake, increasing the fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions that remain airborne and producing a positive feedback to climate change.
