Abstract: Feedbacks between the living and non-living components of the terrestrial carbon cycle present a major source of uncertainty in climate predictions. Now research using materially closed soil-vegetation-atmosphere chamber experiments with carbon amounts proportional to the main terrestrial carbon pools suggests that short-term biotic responses could potentially buffer a temperature increase of 2.3 °C without significant positive feedbacks to atmospheric carbon dioxide.
