The terrestrial biosphere is currently a strong sink for anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Through the radiative properties of CO2
the strength of this sink has a direct influence on the radiative budget of the global climate system. The accurate assessment of
this sink and its evolution under a changing climate is, hence, paramount for any efficient management strategies of the terrestrial
carbon sink to avoid dangerous climate change. Unfortunately, simulations of carbon and water fluxes with terrestrial biosphere
models exhibit large uncertainties. A considerable fraction of this uncertainty is reflecting uncertainty in the parameter values
of the process formulations within the models. The use of observational information is required to reduce this uncertainty.
Systematic model calibration through inversion procedures can infer parameter ranges that are consistent with the observations
and exclude parameter ranges that are inconsistent with observations.
