Abstract
I Rapidly increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are altering Earth’s climate. I Perturbation of the carbon cycle could induce feedbacks on future CO2 concentrations and climate. I Climate-carbon cycle feedbacks are highly uncertain and potentially large. I Prediction of feedbacks requires knowledge of mechanisms connecting carbon and nutrients with the climate system.
