Carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is one of the most important processes in the global carbon cycle. Understanding the spatial variation and controlling factors of carbon exchange fluxes is helpful for accurately predicting and evaluating the global carbon budget.

Carbon flux is the rate of carbon exchange between particular carbon reservoirs, i.e. lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, over time.
Carbon flux depends on: photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, gaseous dissolution, lithification, and combustion.
Main causes of carbon flux are: climate conditions (El Nino, melting the ice cover), natural events (forest fires, volcanic eruptions), human activity (deforestation, combusting the fossil fuels).
Carbon fluxes are extremely huge, that is why they are measured in giga-tonnes.
