Abstract

The terrestrial biosphere is a key component of the global carbon cycle and its carbon balance is strongly influenced by
climate. Continuing environmental changes are thought to increase global terrestrial carbon uptake. But evidence is
mounting that climate extremes such as droughts or storms can lead to a decrease in regional ecosystem carbon stocks
and therefore have the potential to negate an expected increase in terrestrial carbon uptake. Here we explore the
mechanisms and impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle, and propose a pathway to improve our
understanding of present and future impacts of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon budget.
