11. An Example from ISSMES‘07 360 340 320 300 280 Atmospheric CO2 concentration [ppm]

12. An Example from ISSMES‘07 Global Net Primary Productivity [mol(C)/m2 month] [mol(C)/m2 month] control year

13. An Example from ISSMES‘07 Change in living vegetation carbon: year 800  820 [mol(C)/m2]

14. An Example from ISSMES‘07  Temperature drop  destabilization of ocean stratification  change in ocean circulation  change in ocean heat distribution  change in sea ice extent  Temperature drop  death of northern vegetation  reduced plant CO2-uptake  increasing atmospheric CO2  increased growth of tropical vegetation Conclusion Solar input response of physical system response of biogeochemical system
