Global distribution of C3 and C4 vegetation: Carbon cycle implications

Volume: 17, Issue: 1

Abstract
The global distribution of C 3 and C 4 plants is required for accurately simulating exchanges of CO 2 , water, and energy between the land surface and atmosphere. It is also important to know the C 3 /C 4 distribution for simulations of the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric CO 2 owing to the distinct fractionations displayed by each photosynthetic type. Large areas of the land surface are spatial and temporal mosaics of both...
