... Values are in g C/m2; the simulation used ƒw = 0.5 and Nloss = 0.2, where total global carbon uptake was 0.74 Pg.

... The lower panel shows a global view. Ocean "color" measures the density of photosynthetic pigments in marine organisms (phytoplankton)

... . Classes under 100 are natural vegetation types (with little or some level of human management)

... are run using climate change scenarios from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab, United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMO) , and OSU models and the altered vegetation distributions predicted by the biogeographic models (see Table 2.2)

... . No vegetation is mapped in areas without fossil pollen data; "no analog" refers to vegetation without any modern analog.

... Results show that, although the models all have the same overall pattern of enhanced uptake in upwelling and convective regions and weak uptake in downwelling regions, there are dramatic regional differences, particularly in the Southern Ocean.
