Wang, Jing; et al. (2020): Large Chinese land carbon sink estimated from atmospheric carbon dioxide data

Wang, Jing; Feng, Liang; Palmer, Paul I.; Liu, Yi; Fang, Shuangxi; Bösch, Hartmut et al. (2020): Large Chinese land carbon sink estimated from atmospheric carbon dioxide data. In Nature 586 (7831), pp. 720–723. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-020-2849-9.

„Here we present recently available data on the atmospheric mole fraction of CO2, measured from six sites across China during 2009 to 2016. Using these data, we estimate a mean Chinese land biosphere sink of −1.11[nbsp]±[nbsp]0.38[nbsp]petagrams of carbon per year during 2010 to 2016, equivalent to about 45 per cent of our estimate of annual Chinese anthropogenic emissions over that period.“
