The point here is that some portion that was assumed to be more available to the atmosphere may need to be considered more locked-away.<br />Jan Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11097508601802284702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900438532658604202.post-3836000539981903162013-06-12T11:41:13.702-10:002013-06-12T11:41:13.702-10:00Please explain this "complex stuff" a li...Please explain this "complex stuff" a little more. My limited understanding is that carbon is an issue in climate change only when organic compounds are burned to form CO2. I presume that the carbon flowing into aquatic environments is in the form of organic material in the soil, which is not being burnt anyway. So how does this affect the climate change prediction?sstynoreply@blogger.com
