Main Carbon Flux Natural Events Forest Fires Co2

Radiation from the sun is short-wave (UV), and re-emitted radiation is long-wave (IR).

The sun emits short-wave radiation (like UV), while radiated energy from Earth is long-wave (like IR).

Front Main causes for carbon flux changes: natural events (2)
Back forest fires (CO2, tree count), volcanic eruptions (release CO2 from Earth's crust)
