Enhancing the understanding and improving the precision of the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems.

The net carbon(C)-sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems varies annually. At present time, our understanding of the climate-dependency of the CO2-exchange is still limited. The aims of this research project are to enhance the knowledge regarding (a) the causes of the inter-annual variation and (b) the sustainability of terrestrial carbon sinks.
