NatureAcceleration of global warming due to carbon-cycle feedbacks in a coupled climate model
4,179 Citations2000Peter M. Cox, Richard Betts +3 more
Results from a fully coupled, three-dimensional carbon–climate model are presented, indicating that carbon-cycle feedbacks could significantly accelerate climate change over the twenty-first century.

NatureRecent patterns and mechanisms of carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems
1,415 Citations2001David Schimel, Joanna I. House +28 more
An overview of the current state of knowledge of global and regional patterns of carbon exchange by terrestrial ecosystems is provided, confirming that the terrestrial biosphere was largely neutral with respect to net carbon exchange during the 1980s, but became a net carbon sink in the 1990s.

ScienceRegional Changes in Carbon Dioxide Fluxes of Land and Oceans Since 1980
806 Citations2000Philippe Bousquet, Philippe Peylin +4 more
An inverse model to 20 years of atmospheric carbon dioxide measurements is applied to infer yearly changes in the regional carbon balance of oceans and continents and indicates that global terrestrial carbon fluxes were approximately twice as variable as ocean fluxes between 1980 and 1998.

ScienceEnhancement of Interdecadal Climate Variability in the Sahel by Vegetation Interaction
566 Citations1999Ning Zeng, J. David Neelin +2 more
The role of naturally varying vegetation in influencing the climate variability in the West African Sahel is explored in a coupled atmosphere-land-vegetation model and interactive vegetation enhances the interdecadal variation substantially but can reduce year-to-year variability.
