Terrestrial Biospheric Carbon Fluxes Quantification of Sinks and Sources of CO2

Towards the Balance and Management of the Carbon Budget of the Biosphere The current state of misunderstanding of the global C cycle and our failure to resolve an issue that has been debated for 100 years (Jones and Henderson-Sellers, 1990) speaks loudly
