Assessing a New Clue to How Much Carbon Plants Take Up
Résumé
Current climate models disagree on how much carbon dioxide land ecosystems take up for photosynthesis. Tracking the stronger carbonyl sulfide signal could help. Measuring carbonyl sulfide in the atmosphere may be a way to track terrestrial photosynthesis, potentially filling in a critical gap in current climate models. This alpine study area near Boulder, Colo., where the carbonyl sulfide signal was first detected 10 years ago, is part of the NOAA air monitoring network. Credit: B. Bowman
