Randomized trial estimates increased carbon exports in Canadian ecosystems under doubled CO2, suggesting ecological implications.

The research aims to estimate changes in dissolved organic carbon exports from Canadian ecosystems under a doubled CO2 scenario.
Developed a neural network model using hydrological, climatological, and geographical data from 32 sites in Canada.
Estimated area normalized exports for an additional 43 basins using the model.
Modified climatological inputs to project changes in DOC exports under predicted future conditions.
Current estimates show that 14.3 million tonnes of DOC are exported from Canadian terrestrial ecosystems.
DOC exports are projected to increase by approximately 14% under a doubled CO2 atmosphere.
The model indicates peak DOC export occurs in spring for southern Canada and in summer for northern regions.

Clair et al. (1999) studied this question.
