Tropical ecosystems regulate variations in Earths carbon dioxide levels
2013-07-28 16:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CSIRO: The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that a temperature anomaly of just 1C (in near surface air temperatures in the tropics) leads to a 3.5-Petagram (billion tonnes of carbon) anomaly in the annual CO2 growth rate, on average. This is the equivalent of 1/3 of the annual global emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation together. Importantly, the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) study results provide scientists with a new diagnostic...
