The Sixth Annual Oak Ridge National Laboratory Life Sciences Symposium was devoted to the topic of ''The Global Carbon Cycle: Analysis of the Natural Cycle and Implications of Anthropogenic alterations for the Next Century.'' This volume is the result of the presentations at the symposium, carefully selected and critically reviewed to represent a summary of our understanding of some of the most important scientific issues relative to the global carbon cycle. The book examines current knowledge about the fluxes, sources, and sinks in the global carbon cycle as well as our ability to apply this knowledge to the prediction of changes in atmospheric CO/sub 2/ concentration resulting from anthropogenic influences. Separate abstracts have been prepared for individual presentations. (ACR)
