An estimate of equilibrium sensitivity of global terrestrial carbon
... ‘‘combined effects’’ refers to the combination of CO2-radiative, CO2-physiological and CO2-fertilization effects (i.e., to the combination of CO2-radiative and CO2-direct effects). In the next two sections, we describe the model used and experimental setup. In the following section, we quantify the ...
