Figure 1: Land biosphere fluxes estimated by the atmospheric CO2 inversions.
From: Top–down assessment of the Asian carbon budget since the mid 1990s
The posterior land biosphere (natural, land-use change and fire) fluxes (PgC per year) from each inversion. The width of each curve shows the range obtained by subtracting the FFC emissions estimates of the CDIAC, EDGAR and IEA inventories from the total posterior flux. Note that a negative flux indicates a carbon sink. The fluxes are shown globally (a) and for the regions: East Asia (b), South Asia (c) and Southeast Asia (d) as indicated in the adjacent maps. The inversions are named after the institute that performed them (NIES is the GELCA 64-region inversion system, MACC is the MACC-v13 inversion system used at LSCE, WU is CarbonTracker Europe, JAMSTEC is the ACTM-based inversion system, CSIRO is the CCAM-based inversion system, JMA is the JMA-CDTM-based inversion system, and CAO is the GELCA EOF-based inversion system, for details see Supplementary Table 1).
