Advances in the study of terrestrial ecosystem carbon source,sink and affection mechanisms

Abstract

Abstract: It is found that there is a large missing carbon sink between available carbon source and sink by studies of global carbon cycle.Atmosphere,ocean and terrestrial ecosystem are three probable reservoirs of carbon dioxide released by human activities.Terrestrial ecosystem carbon source and sink is one of the critical problems in global carbon cycle because of its complexity and uncertainty.Many studies,including the monitoring of atmospheric components,analysis of forest inventories,CO₂ flux measurements and modeling simulations,have suggested that CO₂ fertilization,increased nitrogen deposition,pollution,global climatic change and change in land use are major ecological mechanisms affecting the amount of carbon in terrestrial ecosystem.It is unclear which of these mechanisms has been the most important in the past 10～100 years and which will be the most important in the future.
