DOI: 10.1089/ast.2020.2415
Abstract: Biological regulation of planetary temperature has been explained with the Daisyworld model, in which reflective-cooling white daises balance absorbing-warming black daisies. This article advances the proposition that cooling "daisies" of Daisyworld represent carbon sequestration and… read more here.
