RISSimulating Competition and Coexistence between Plant Functional Types in a Dynamic Vegetation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global distribution of vegetation is broadly determined by climate, and where bioclimatic parameters are favorable for several plant functional types (PFTs), by the competition between them. Most current dynamic global ...
The Temporal Variability of Soil Moisture and Surface Hydrological Quantities in a Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variance budget of land surface hydrological quantities is analyzed in the second Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP2) simulation made with the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) ...
A Representation of Variable Root Distribution in Dynamic Vegetation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Root distribution is treated as a static component in most current dynamic vegetation models (DVMs). While changes in leaf and stem biomass are reflected in leaf area index (LAI) and vegetation height via specific leaf ...
Constraining the Ratio of Global Warming to Cumulative CO2 Emissions Using CMIP5 Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ratio of warming to cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide has been shown to be approximately independent of time and emissions scenarios and directly relates emissions to temperature. It is therefore a potentially ...
Uncertainties in CMIP5 Climate Projections due to Carbon Cycle Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n the context of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, most climate simulations use prescribed atmospheric CO2 concentration and therefore do not interactively include the effect of carbon cycle feedbacks. ...
Carbon–Concentration and Carbon–Climate Feedbacks in CMIP5 Earth System Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon?climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs). The analysis is based on results from biogeochemically, ...
Compatible Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions in the CMIP6 Earth System Models’ Historical and Shared Socioeconomic Pathway Experiments of the Twenty-First Century

Evaluating Global Land Surface Models in CMIP5: Analysis of Ecosystem Water- and Light-Use Efficiencies and Rainfall Partitioning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWater and carbon fluxes simulated by 12 Earth system models (ESMs) that participated in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) over several recent decades were evaluated using three functional ...
