Ecosystem photosynthesis inferred from measurements of carbonyl sulphide flux

Carbonyl sulphide is taken up by plants, and could potentially serve as a powerful proxy for photosynthetic carbon dioxide uptake. Field measurements in Israel suggest that carbonyl sulphide fluxes provide an independent constraint on indirect estimates of ecosystem photosynthesis.
