TL;DR: For the past decade, observations of carbonyl sulfide (OCS or COS) have been investigated as a proxy for carbon uptake by plants as discussed by the authors, which can be used in conjunction with other independent measures of ecosystem function, like solar-induced fluorescence and carbon and water isotope studies.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors implemented a mechanistic soil COS model in the ORCHIDEE (Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems) land surface model to simulate COS fluxes in oxic and anoxic soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of hygroscopicity of a thin dead outer bark layer on the reversible component of dendrometer records of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) under field conditions was determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted concurrent ecosystem scale CO2 and COS flux measurements above an agriculturally managed temperate mountain grassland and found that the grassland acted as a major sink for CO2 during periods of high leaf area.
