The dynamics of CO2 assimilation by plants in Russia

Vegetation formation (see Table 3.9) Rate of CO2 assimilation (106tC/yr)  

2 The role of the World Ocean in carbon dioxide assimilation from the atmosphere 

Estimation of the extent to which the World Ocean assimilates C02 from the atmosphere, as in the case of land, is only possible by spatially integrating the difference between fluxes H s and Hc. Table 3.15 gives average estimates of this difference. Even with these rough estimates, we can see the mosaic character of the role of various
