Contribution of different external forcings to the terrestrial carbon cycle variability in extratropical Eurasia in the last millennium
Abstract The simulations for the last millennium with an Earth system model developed at the A. M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences (IAP RAS CM) are performed. These simulations are forced by changes of the parameters of the Earth orbit, total solar irradiance, v...

For different time intervals and for different kinds of external forcing, coefficient of variation of IAV in different TCC characteristics is smaller (typically, up to few percent) in forested regions and larger in the regions covered by grasses (e.g., in tundra), where it could be as large as several tens of per cents for fire return interval.

In addition, the land use activity increases the relaxation time scale of the vegetation carbon stock by one order of magnitude.
