Forest ecosystems sequester large amounts of atmospheric CO 2 , and the contribution from seasonally dry tropical forests is not negligible. Thus, the objective of this study was to quantify and evaluate the seasonal and annual patterns of CO 2 exchanges in the Caatinga biome, as well as to evaluate...
