[1] Abstract: We make a case that the 20 ppm rise in atmospheric CO2 content over the last 8000 years was at least in part a consequence of the 500 Gt C increase in terrestrial biomass early in the present interglacial rather than of a 200 Gt C decrease in terrestrial biomass during the latter part...
