Figure 3: Changes in warming over the land surface and the effect on global ecosystem respiration.

From: Recent pause in the growth rate of atmospheric CO2 due to enhanced terrestrial carbon uptake

Figure 3

Trends in (a) ecosystem respiration (Reco) derived from satellite-driven estimates of the carbon cycle (photosynthesis-respiration (PR) model, see methods), and (b) global warming over vegetated land for the periods of 1980–2000 and 2000–2012. Trends for both periods were estimated using the Sen slope from Kendall's Tau-b method on de-seasonalized monthly data. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals of the trend.
