Myneni (USA), Shilong Piao (China), Peter Thornton (USA) Yann Arthus-Bertrand / Altitude About Carbon Biogeochemistry & the Climate Change Initiative Benjamin Poulter, Natasha MacBean, Patricia Cadule, many collaborators
2 Never forget this : CO 2 remains in the atmosphere long after emissions
3 CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O increase in the Industrial Era CO 2 CH 4 N 2 O Ice core records Atmospheric monitoring
4 Global Carbon Budget Since 1750, human activities have emitted 555 ± 85 PgC from fossil fuel burning and land use change Fossil fuel CO 2 emissions were 9.5 PgC yr-1 in 2011, 54% above their 1990 level On average over the past 50 years, a fraction of 44 ± 6 % of emissions remains in the atmosphere, increasing the Earth s greenhouse effect
5 Current land / ocean carbon flux anomalies (from atmospheric CO2 inversion) Global North Hemis. Tropics South Hemis.
6 Chapter - 9 Comparison of CMIP5 Land/Ocean C fluxes with GCP Ocean C flux (PgC/yr) Land C flux (PgC/yr)
7 Projecting future changes with Earth System Models Concentration driven Policy relevant objectives Emission driven Free running coupled climate carbon system Used in AR5 : CMIP5 Used in AR4 :C4MIP
8 Simulated historical and future land and ocean carbon storage using CMIP5 models Historical RCP future pathways Very large uncertainty on projected changes in land carbon storage
9 Compatible emissions for the RCP pathways Uncertainties in modeled land and ocean carbon storage translate into uncertain compatible emissions
10 Carbon - Biogeochemistry and CCI projects
11 Positive carbon climate feedbacks confirmed in AR5 Climate response to CO 2 (K / ppm) Sinks response to CO 2 (PgC / ppm) Sinks response to climate (PgC / K) Climate change will affect carbon cycle processes in a way that will exacerbate the increase of CO 2 in the atmosphere (high confidence)
12 Response to atmospheric CO 2 only land ocean decreasing sink increasing sink source: Ciais et al IPCC AR5
13 Response to climate change only land ocean decreasing sink increasing sink models do not include the release of permafrost C source: Ciais et al IPCC AR5
14 Ocean acidification Surface ph Surface ph change in 2090s from 1990s Uptake of carbon will increase ocean acidification: Virtually certain Aragonite vulnerable in parts of the Arctic & some coastal upwelling systems within 1 decade, in parts of the Southern Ocean within 1-3 decades Further research need: How will ocean acidification affect marine ecosystem services?
15 Ocean de-oxygenation Ocean O 2 content change (%) Surface O 2 change in 2090s from 1990s Further research need: How will ocean deoxygenation affect marine ecosystem services?
16 Future of the assessment : land-use emissions scenarios & evaluation Land use emissions were not separated from net land flux in ESM for CMIP5 All RCP pathways have low land use emissions
17 Future of the assessment : land-use emissions scenarios & evaluation Deforestation rate (10 3 km 2 / yr) Green : RCP8.5 scenario over Amazon Blue & Orange : Brazilian projections (LUCCME in blue and SIMAMAZONIA) Soares Filho et al., 2006 Research needs: Understand differences between global and regional land use scenarios Reconcile food security scenarios (MA, FAO) with climate scenarios (IPCC)

19 Future of the assessment : Nutrient limitation on terrestrial C storage Offline model with N & P limitations Future soil C storage Future biomass C storage Fi th (b co Only 1-2 Earth System Models included N-limitations in CMIP5 and found a smaller sink response to CO 2 and climate Goll et al. 2012
20 Evaluation of C-N 11 terrestrial models using Free-Air CO2 Enrichement experiment : Net Primary Production NPP (control CO2) Observed Models NPP (double CO2) Carbon - Biogeochemistry and CCI projects Zaehle et al. 2014
21 Future of the assessment : CH 4 and N 2 O climate feedbacks CH 4 Temperature Feedbacks that were not included in CMIP5 models: Climate sensitivity of wetland CH 4 emissions Stability of ocean CH 4 hydrate pools Response of soil N 2 O emission processes to climate and elevated CO 2 Response of ocean N 2 O emissions to changes in O 2 & circulation
22 Future of the assessment : cold carbon processes, permafrost C 1670 Pg C In permafrost Mc Dougall et al An Earth System Model with permafrost carbon processes was driven by RCP emissions Result: higher projected warming (0.13 to 1.7 C) and CO 2 release (70 to 500 PgC) Key «missing» processes : soil ice, soil C vertical distribution, soil C pools decomposition rates [C:N], fire & thermokarst

24 Links with CCI projects? Models need to be evaluated / optimized (especial for critical long term C-cycle processes) è Need comprehensive global data-sets è Need monitoring strategies to monitor Carbon fluxes and stocks è Need coherent data sets linking Carbon, Water, other nutrients cycles Carbon - Biogeochemistry and CCI projects

31 Conclusions, future challenges Few good guys CO 2 fertilization of NPP (-) CO 2 driven ocean uptake (+) Longer northern growing seasons (+) Land management (-) (-/+) Level of understanding in parenthesis? Many potentially bad guys Intense land use scenarios (- -) Permafrost C emissions (- -) Wetland emissions increase (- -) Fire emissions increase (- -) Emerging Nutrient limitations (- -)??? CCI should focus on data stream to inform on the «long-term» carbon cycle
32 Case of Amazon forest potential dieback Remote sensing observations informed modelers to consider: Depth of tropical soils Rooting strategies Leaf cycle and shedding Forest mortality and drought Species diversity New remote sensing approaches are needed: - Sentinels and BIOMASS missions - Higher temporal frequency - Cloud/aerosol treatment - Spatial resolution - Microwave spectral resolution Carbon - Biogeochemistry and CCI projects
33 Case of boreal forest changes 5-13 day increase in onset of boreal growing season Boreal forest browning detected in satellite and plot measurements DGVM models agree with satellite trends in growing season length But high disagreement in LAI dynamics Bunn 2007 Carbon - Biogeochemistry and CCI projects ESA Monitoring the Change UNFCCC COP19
