Groundbreaking climate model predicts dramatic shifts in global carbon cycle.
The ESCOBA-biosphere project aims to understand how carbon moves between land, sea, and the atmosphere to predict global climate change effects. Researchers use various models to estimate carbon dioxide exchanges between earth and air, erosion, and biomass energy. By analyzing these models, researchers discovered how the land influences the global carbon cycle. However, more work is needed to improve the accuracy of these models for predicting future carbon changes. The project combines ground experiments, gas measurements, and satellite data to validate and enhance these models over time.
