RESUMO

The global terrestrial carbon sink is increasing1-3, offsetting roughly a third of anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere each decade1, and thus serving to slow4 the growth of atmospheric CO2. It has been suggested that a CO2-induced long-term increase in global photosynthesis, a process known as CO2 fertilization, is responsible for a large proportion of the current terrestrial carbon sink4-7. The estimated magnitude of the historic increase in photosynthesis as result of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, however, differs by an order of magnitude between long-term proxies and terrestrial biosphere models7-13. Here we quantify the historic effect of CO2 on global photosynthesis by identifying an emergent constraint14-16 that combines terrestrial biosphere models with global carbon budget estimates. Our analysis suggests that CO2 fertilization increased global annual photosynthesis by 11.85 ± 1.4%, or 13.98 ± 1.63 petagrams carbon (mean ± 95% confidence interval) between 1981 and 2020. Our results help resolve conflicting estimates of the historic sensitivity of global photosynthesis to CO2, and highlight the large impact anthropogenic emissions have had on ecosystems worldwide.

RESUMO

Terrestrial ecosystems remove about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activities each year1, yet the persistence of this carbon sink depends partly on how plant biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks respond to future increases in atmospheric CO2 (refs. 2,3). Although plant biomass often increases in elevated CO2 (eCO2) experiments4-6, SOC has been observed to increase, remain unchanged or even decline7. The mechanisms that drive this variation across experiments remain poorly understood, creating uncertainty in climate projections8,9. Here we synthesized data from 108 eCO2 experiments and found that the effect of eCO2 on SOC stocks is best explained by a negative relationship with plant biomass: when plant biomass is strongly stimulated by eCO2, SOC storage declines; conversely, when biomass is weakly stimulated, SOC storage increases. This trade-off appears to be related to plant nutrient acquisition, in which plants increase their biomass by mining the soil for nutrients, which decreases SOC storage. We found that, overall, SOC stocks increase with eCO2 in grasslands (8 ± 2 per cent) but not in forests (0 ± 2 per cent), even though plant biomass in grasslands increase less (9 ± 3 per cent) than in forests (23 ± 2 per cent). Ecosystem models do not reproduce this trade-off, which implies that projections of SOC may need to be revised.

RESUMO

The changes in high density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions have been studied in 106 young healthy men after two months of physical training at a military base. Forty subjects were placed on a heavy intensity training program (HITP) with a daily average energy expenditure estimated as 3,504 Kcal, and 66 subjects followed a moderate intensity training program (MITP) with an average energy expenditure estimated as 2,942 Kcal/day. The HITP group reduced their body fat while HDL-cholesterol, HDL2-cholesterol and apoprotein (apo) A-I increased by 8.4%, 30% and 16.9% respectively (p less than 0.001). Body fat of MITP subjects did not change and HDL-cholesterol, HDL2-cholesterol and apo A-I increased by 5.6% (p less than 0.05), 17.1% (p less than 0.001) and 5.6% (p less than 0.05), respectively. The increase in serum apo A-I level was significantly higher (p less than 0.005) in the heavy intensity training group. The apo A-I/A-II ratio increased significantly in both groups (p less than 0.001), reflecting an increase in the HDL2/HDL3 ratio. This is in agreement with the significant increase in HDL2-cholesterol in both groups (p less than 0.001) with no change or decrease in HDL3-cholesterol.
