    1. tropical

      as in any other non-tropical cropland. For the discussion on the 4 permil initiative and all the financial C assets, a map of Europe would be very helpful as well!

    2. budget

      well, many agricultural site PIs do not account for fertilization or harvests either. So we have large uncertainties on the sinks in all ecosystem/land cover types.

    3. Covariance

      you "only" model fluxes, not sinks correct? I am asking because above the tropical "sink" was mentioned. At the beginning of the results, you use the term "sink" as well. But: negative NEE/positive NEP shows net CO2 uptake, not necessarily a (long-term) sink, for this you would need all im/exports, even for forests. NEE clearly does NOT equal a sink in agricultural or regularly managed sites. We need to be clearer in our terminology.

    4. number

      turn around the title of the color code by 180 degrees. All axis/legend titles should "look" into the same direction. Good scientific convention to avoid headaches ;-)
