Carbon sink capacity in northern forests reduced by global warming
An international study investigating the carbon sink capacity of northern terrestrial ecosystems discovered that the duration of the net carbon uptake period has on average decreased due to warmer autumn temperatures. Many northern terrestrial ecosystems currently lose carbon dioxide in response to autumn warming, offsetting 90 percent of the increased carbon dioxide uptake during spring.
