Extended Data Fig. 2: Atmospheric CO2 measurements from existing observational networks are most sensitive to fluxes from mesic biomes in temperate and boreal North America.

Extended Data Fig. 2

(a) The distribution of major biomes in North America: croplands (CRO; olive), evergreen needleleaf forests (ENF; purple), and deciduous broadleaf and mixed forests (DBMF; green). (b) Average sensitivity of atmospheric CO2 measurements to surface fluxes (ppm [μmol m−2 s−1]−1) over North America during 2007–2010. Hotspots indicate sites of the CO2 continuous-monitoring network (Supplementary Table 4). The base map was generated using matplotlib v3.7.1 (https://matplotlib.org) and Cartopy v0.21.1 (https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy).
