Description: Nitrogen–carbon–climate interactions. Shown are the main interacting drivers during the Anthropocene. Signs indicate an increase (+) or a decrease (−) in the factor shown; (?) indicate an unknown impact. Colors of the arrow indicate direct anthropogenic impacts (red) or natural interactions (blue, many of which also modified by human influence). Strength of the interaction is expressed by the arrow thickness. Only selected interactions are represented. Adapted from: Gruber, N., and J. N. Galloway (2008) "An Earth‐system perspective of the global nitrogen cycle". Nature, 451:293–296. doi:10.1038/nature06592.
