Abstract: For many years we've know that there is an imbalance between the levels of carbon released by man's activities and measured concentrations in the atmosphere. The current theory is that this is due to uptake of carbon by terrestrial ecosystems in the northern hemisphere. But we now have evidence that the forests' contribution is far too small to account for all of the 'missing' carbon.
