Carbon storage & climate feedbacks• In coming decades, will the terrestrial
biosphere continue to store a substantial fraction of the carbon emitted from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation?

Global C cycle: past subsidies from nature
• Pre-industrial CO2 = 280 ppm• Current atmospheric CO2 = 375 ppm• Without subsidies, CO2 = 500 ppm
• Over the next century, models in IPCC project uncertain but large subsidies:– Oceans: 160 ppm– Land: 125 ppm

Implications for policy
• Have future free subsidies from nature been overestimated in past analyses?
• Is there a greater risk of positive feedbacks as warming becomes larger?
• Are we making realistic estimates of the need for emissions-free energy?

Stabilization wedges
• Many of the potential wedges will fall under endogenous efficiency improvements
• Maintaining historical pace of endogenous efficiency improvements represents a real challenge
• Necessary wedges for constant emissions could be:– Up to 40 at 1 Pg C y-1 in 2054– A few much larger than 1 Pg C y-1 in 2054– Both of the above

Jasper Ridge Global Change Experiment:1997-
• How do responses to realistic multi-factor global change differ from responses to single factors?
• How are ecosystem-level responses to global change partitioned between plastic responses within species and changes in species composition?
• How do the interactions between plants and microbes change when plant composition changes?
• What is the role of herbivory in regulating global change responses?

Mechanism(s) of the CO2 suppression
• Some evidence for:– Phenology (nutrient competition)– Root:Shoot ratio (nutrient foraging)– Nutrient limitation, especially N&P
• General result:– Other resources limit CO2 response– Use these limits to estimate global
sensitivity to CO2

Carbon cycle consequences
• Modest CO2 fertilization under all circumstances• Constraint from N gives optimistic upper bound
for fertilization• Estimate global increase in N availability
– (2000-2100)• Compare with standard models for CO2
fertilization

Yikes!
• Existing models may over-estimate century-scale CO2 uptake on land– Perhaps by up to 360 Pg or 180 ppm– Probably ½ compensated by oceans
![Page 49: Terrestrial ecosystems in the global carbon cycle · Carbon cycle consequences •M odest CO 2 fertilization under all circumstances • Constraint from N gives optimistic upper bound](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022053009/5f0d1b437e708231d438b5c2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Why have we overestimated CO2 fertilization?
• Unrealistic early experiments– Fast-growing plants– Abundant resources– Focus on aboveground NPP
• IPCC rules– Other sinks masqueraded as CO2 fertilization
• Regrowth• Overestimated deforestation• Forest thickening• Landfills and sediments

Land subsidies: New evidence
• Limited effects of CO2 fertilization– (decreased subsidies)
• Vulnerable pools– (decreased subsidies or carbon losses)
• Land: New uncertainty– Uptake of 125 ppm– Release of 200 ppm
• 325 ppm is most of the range among IPCC scenarios in 2100

From the natural side of the C cycle
• Challenge:– Preserve economic growth– Preserve integrity of global climate
• No single solution
• Dramatically increased commitments to:– Conservation– Efficiency– New technologies– Sequestration
