What is the net ecosystem production for the earth

Reference no: EM1399002

Studies on the global climate cycle have revealed a %u201Cmissing%u201D carbon sink (i.e., carbon being taken from the atmosphere and put into the biosphere) of approximately 3 GT/year (thought to be an underestimate of the size of the photosynthesis flux). With that extra sink, what is the net ecosystem production for the earth? What does the sign (negative or positive) mean?
