Interactive comment on "Global uptake of carbonyl sulfide (COS) by terrestrial vegetation: Estimates corrected by deposition velocities normalized to the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2)" by L. Sandoval-Soto et al.

Presents a response by L. Sandoval-Soto, et al, to a comment on their article "Global Uptake of Carbonyl Sulfide (COS) by Terrestrial Vegetation: Estimates Corrected by Deposition Velocities Normalized to the Uptake of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)," which appeared in the 2005 issue of "Biogeosciences Discussions." Argument under the aspect of the close relation of COS and carbon dioxide uptake; Missing discussion of a compensatin point; Introduction of the gross primary productivity concept.
