Abstract
DIFFERENT METHODS, DIFFERENT RESULTS. The net ecosystem exchange (NEE) quantifies the net CO2 flux from the ecosystem to the atmosphere (Chapin et al. 2006); that is, a negative NEE corresponds to a positive (net) sink of CO2 or a positive (net) uptake of CO2 by the biosphere. Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly measure how much CO2 is taken up on continental scales. For this reason, various different indirect approaches have been developed which are sketched in Fig. 1 and outlined in the following.
