Ocean-land interactions and the Arctic carbon cycle
This chapter focuses on the Arctic since ocean-land interactions are more important for the Arctic than the Antarctic carbon cycle. It explores the complexity of connections between the ocean and land of the North Pole region, and possible impacts on greenhouse gas exchange and lateral carbon flows...

This chapter focuses on the Arctic since ocean-land interactions are more important for the Arctic than the Antarctic carbon cycle.
