This manuscript studied how vegetation carbon and soil carbon changes under three solar radiation management: sulfate aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening and cirrus cloud thinning. The three SRM strategies result different responses of terrestrial carbon pools. Based on analysis of temperature and precipitation changes, they concluded that precipitation is the factor to determine the terrestrial carbon storage under SRM scenarios comparing with RCP8.5. They also concluded that CO2

There are only a few works on SRM impacts on vegetation and terrestrial carbon cycle, and more research are needed to further understand vegetation and carbon cycle responses to climate changes from SRM. Therefore, this study is filling the gap C1 ESDD Interactive comment Printer-friendly version Discussion paper
