What is Soil Carbonyl Sulfide (OCS) Fluxes in Terrestrial Ecosystems: An Empirical Model about?
Most land uptake of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) is physically linked to gross primary production (GPP), the largest flux in the global carbon cycle . However, outstanding questions remain that prevent the straightforward use of OCS as a tracer for GPP. In particular, there is a significant budget gap because the anticipated OCS sinks from plants, soils, and oxidation in the atmosphere are larger than all of the sources we have currently accounted for. Estimates of the missing source vary from 230 to 800 Gg S y -1 . One possibility is that we have overestimated the plant sink although it would require an order of magnitude overestimation to account for the entire budget gap, unlikely based on laboratory and field data . Two other possibilities have generated more debate: a large source in the tropical Abstract Measurements of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) enable independent estimates of regional stomatal conductance provided that non-stomatal OCS fluxes are well constrained. OCS is taken up through plant leaves, following the same pathway as CO 2 ; in contrast to CO 2 , OCS is irreversibly destroyed in plant leaves and plants do not typically exhibit OCS emissions. Ecosystem uptake of OCS can i
