The global carbon cycle

Description/Abstract

This article presents important advances in carbon-cycle research, inventories the world's carbon reservoirs, and discusses what is known about the role of oceanic and terrestrial systems in exchanging CO{sub 2} with the atmosphere. Finally, a new global systems approach is described that shows promise in resolving current difficulties.
