Dear Alexander Koch,

Best wishes,
Kirsten.

Dear Dr. Koch,
thank you for providing the corrected manuscript. I have only minor comments which I ask you to correct before the manuscript can be assessed for acceptance:
1. I was wondering why the land-to-atmosphere flux (FLA) which you define "as the difference between carbon uptakethrough NPP and the release of carbon into the atmosphere through Rh" is not named net ecosystem production, or net biome production if you include the fluxes from disturbances. This is an established term which should be used here, while keeping your definition. Or at least refer to the NEP term in line 96ff and keep your notation systems.
2. Equ. 1 misses now the definition of G_atm. Please add.
3. remove 2.3 as heading.
4. Correct label for soil in Fig. 1 and change to "bare soil" as it describes the fraction covered by bare soil.
5. Please explain the up-to 100% change in C3 and C4 coverage in Fig. 1B in the text. Can grasses grow below the tree canopy? If so, please add this to the description.
6. Please correct the caption for Figure 3, it does not match the panels displayed. In addition, please cross-check the panels are cited correctly throughout the text.
7. Figure 4, correct label from F_OCN to F_OA.
Best wishes,
Kirsten Thonicke.
