Short summary
We analyse how climate drives seasonal and interannual CO2 flux variability in European forests using data from 19 sites and both process-based and data-driven models. The impact of climate on the CO2 flux annual cycle is strong and quite similar across Europe. On the other hand, the impact of climate on year-to-year CO2 flux variability depends on the region and the season, with reversed correlations between spring and summer in northern and central Europe.
