I think in struggling with the first one: is atmosphere the total atmospheric pool divided by the earth’s surface area?

That's actually good feedback that you are struggling with; the answer is that the 19.1 is the gross amount of material coming out of the atmosphere. Everything here is in megagrams of carbon per hectare per year. So I could make that more clear.

I used a sankeyflow in python. So its all done in code and with very little revision it made high quality attractive sankeys. I didn't label them in python though, it was too fidgetty, so I did that in powerpoint.

Ah, that makes sense, so the gap at the top left of "Atmosphere CO2" is basically the total annual biosphere draw-down by the biosphere..
