Comments	"[Researchers'] results suggest that, within the limits of reported uncertainty, the entire terrestrial C sink is accounted for by C uptake of global established forests (Table 3), as the balanced global budget yields near-zero residuals with ±1.0 Pg C/year uncertainty for both 1990 to 1999 and 2000 to 2007 (Table 3)." Pg C=peta (10^15) grams carbon. See notes above and beneath table
