The study is part of a larger Earth Observing System (EOS) Interdisciplinary Science (IDS) Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions project that deals with the implications of these interactions of biosphere-atmosphere interactions for the global carbon cycle. For this dissertation, both model results and observations were used.
