- Full title :The Global carbon cycle / edited by Martin Heimann.
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.
