“…This limitation can reduce the strength of the terrestrial carbon sink and, in some cases, even lead to temporary carbon sources in terrestrial ecosystems (Jung et al, 2017;Phillips et al, 2009). This temporary reversion from carbon sink into a source has been reported in Amazon forest during 2005 and 2010 (Chai et al, 2021;Dolman & Janssen, 2018), as well as in Europe during 2003 (Ciais et al, 2005), due to droughts events. Another possible driving factor is nutrient limitations, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus supplies, which may restrict CO 2 -induced biomass enhancement and related carbon sequestration (Oren et al, 2001;Reich et al, 2006, Reich & Hobbie, 2013.…”
