  bibo_abstract:
  - The increase in atmospheric CO2 in the future is one of the most certain projections
    in environmental sciences. Understanding whether vegetation carbon assimilation,
    growth, and changes in vegetation carbon stocks are affected by higher atmospheric
    CO2 and translating this understanding in mechanistic vegetation models is of
    utmost importance. This is highlighted by inconsistencies between global-scale
    studies that attribute terrestrial carbon sinks to CO2 stimulation of gross and
    net primary production on the one hand, and forest inventories, tree-scale studies,
    and plant physiological evidence showing a much less pronounced CO2 fertilization
    effect on the other hand. Here, we review how plant carbon sources and sinks are
    currently described in terrestrial biosphere models. We highlight an uneven representation
    of complexity between the modelling of photosynthesis and other processes, such
    as plant respiration, direct carbon sinks, and carbon allocation, largely driven
    by available observations. Despite a general lack of data on carbon sink dynamics
    to drive model improvements, ways forward toward a mechanistic representation
    of plant carbon sinks are discussed, leveraging on results obtained from plant-scale
    models and on observations geared toward model developments.@eng
