Earth system models underestimate carbon fixation by plants in the high latitudes

The terrestrial biosphere absorbs a large fraction of emitted CO2, and thus, plays a critical role in climate change projections. Here, the authors use satellite leaf area and in-situ CO2 measurements to show that most Earth system models largely underestimate photosynthetic carbon fixation in high...
