The Consequences of Considering Carbon–Nitrogen Interactions

Following on from the last post on the link between nitrogen availability and carbon sequestration, this is an interesting paper by Sokolov et al. (2008) in the Journal of Climate. They discuss the effect of including carbon-nitrogen dynamics in part of a particular earth systems model, the MIT Integrated Global Systems Model (IGSM), and how feedbacks from increased atmospheric CO2 can change when the role of nitrogen is considered.
