Zonal-mean C fluxes for transient, fully‐forced, coupled C-N run with decomposable deep C. Net high latitude fluxes associated with permafrost thaw persist long after the thaw has occurred and are on same order as tropical C uptake due to CO₂ fertilization and changing land‐use; this represents an important aspect of the global terrestrial carbon cycle response to CO₂ emissions.
