Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical savannas have been heavily impacted by human activity, with large expanses transformed from a mixture of trees and grasses to open grassland and agriculture. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ...
Modeling Root Water Uptake in Hydrological and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 30 September to 2 October 1999 a workshop was held in Gif?sur?Yvette, France, with the central objective to develop a research strategy for the next 3?5 years, aiming at a systematic description of root functioning, ...
Nitrogen Controls on Climate Model Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most evapotranspiration over land occurs through vegetation. The fraction of net radiation balanced by evapotranspiration depends on stomatal controls. Stomates transpire water for the leaf to assimilate carbon, depending ...
The Global N2O Model Intercomparison Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas and also an ozone-depleting substance that has both natural and anthropogenic sources. Large estimation uncertainty remains on the magnitude and spatiotemporal ...
