Variability of projected terrestrial biosphere responses to elevated levels of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> due to uncertainty in biological nitrogen fixation

Including a terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle in Earth system models has led to substantial attenuation of predicted biosphere–climate feedbacks. However, the magnitude of this attenuation remains uncertain. A particularly important but highly uncertain process is biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), wh...
