		<description><![CDATA[Current estimate of CO2 uptake by the oceans by and large ignored marginal seas and continental shelves. Preliminary investigations indicate that these areas are a larger sink of CO2 than open oceans on the per area basis. If proven, this sink may be as large as 25% of the oceanic sink. Human activities on land [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the main difficulties for modeling the Earth system (or sub-systems) is to idenfy and characterize all source and loss terms. As an approximation one often assumes that the system is closed or enclosed in a closed system. According to the domain which is considered, such an approximation may be wrong. More accurate observations [...]]]></description>

		<title>Model experiments, intercomparisons and data evaluation are needed to quantify and help with management decisions and, ultimately, to provide scientific knowledge to improve the sustainability of the living Earth. Which interactive physical, chemical and biological processes &#8211; including the role of human activities from global to regional and at short and long timescales &#8211; are fundamental to study in order to gain a deeper understanding of the Earth System and priority areas such as vulnerability, impacts and adaptation?</title>
