1 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Biogeochemistry & Climate Primary Source: IPCC WG-I Chapter 7 - Couplings Between Changes in the Climate System and Biogeochemistry

2 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Pre-industrial: ~ 280 ppm Sources: 1.Fossil fuels 2.Cement production 3. Deforestation 4. Biomass burning 75% Sinks: 1.Rock weathering 2.Plant sediments 3.Ocean uptake 4.Plant growth

3 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Evidence for Anthropogenic? Carbon Isotopes Carbon Isotopes O 2 depletion O 2 depletion Gradient between NH & SH hemispheresGradient between NH & SH hemispheres

7 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Ocean Sources & Sinks of CO 2

8 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Time Variability of CO 2 Sources & Sinks

9 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) Removal Rates for Added CO 2 Within 30 yr: ~ 50%  Within few C: ~ 80% 

10 (Mt/Ag/EnSc/EnSt 404/504 - Global Change) Biogochemistry & Climate (from IPCC WG-I, Chapter 7) CO 2 Emissions vs. Removal Actual amount All into atmosphere Cooler temps? More diffuse solar radiation? Effect of Mt. Pinatubo?
