The Global Carbon Cycle
This volume is based on recent controversial findings regarding the relative roles of the ocean and land biota in the current global balance of atmospheric carbon dioxide. It reviews the multitude of known constraints on the present-day global carbon cycle as identified by research in the fields of meteorology, physical and biological oceanography, geology and terrestrial biosphere science. It is divided into three sections: 1. Emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use and a brief look i…

Summary
This volume is based on recent controversial findings regarding the relative roles of the ocean and land biota in the current global balance of atmospheric carbon dioxide. It reviews the multitude of known constraints on the present-day global carbon cycle as identified by research in the fields of meteorology, physical and biological oceanography, geology and terrestrial biosphere science. It is divided into three sections: 1. Emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use and a brief look into the past. 2. The role of the terrestrial biosphere. 3. The role of the ocean and the contemporary global carbon cycle.

Section I. Atmospheric and global constraints -- Lecture 1: Global observations of atmospheric CO2 -- Average global distributions of CO2 -- Seasonal cycles in atmospheric CO2 concentrations -- What caused the glacial to interglacial CO2 change? -- The magnitude and distribution of fossil-fuel-related carbon releases -- Section II. The role of the terrestrial biosphere -- Changes in terrestrial carbon over the last 135 years -- Implications of CO2 effects on vegetation for the global carbon budget -- Modelling terrestrial carbon cycles at varying temporal and spatial resolutions -- Biome modelling and the carbon cycle -- A dynamic model of terrestrial carbon cycling -- Carbon exchange between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere -- Organic carbon in soil and the global carbon cycle -- Section III. The role of the ocean -- Is the magnitude of the deep outflow from the Atlantic Ocean actually governed by southern hemisphere winds? -- New radiocarbon constraints on the upwelling of abyssal water to the ocean's surface -- Modelling the present-day oceanic carbon cycle -- Air-sea gasexchange and carbon dioxide -- Lecture 2: Surface ocean CO2 -- Effects of the marine biota on gl…
