In this study we evaluate the individual and combined impacts
of CO2, climate and Ozone on future terrestrial carbon storage using
the computationally efficient GCM analogue model coupled to the MOSES/TRIFFID
land surface carbon cycle model. Ozone is modelled to have a significant
detrimental effect on future plant productivity and hence terrestrial carbon
storage, opposing the enhanced production and terrestrial carbon storage
associated with elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
