Improving the representation of hydrologic processes in Earth System Models
Many of the scientific and societal challenges in understanding and preparing for global environmental change rest upon our ability to understand and predict the water cycle change at large river basin, continent, and global scales. However, current large-scale land models (as a component of Earth System Models, or ESMs) do not yet reflect the best hydrologic process understanding or utilize th...
متن کاملImproving representation of photosynthesis in Earth System Models.
Earth System Models (ESMs) provide the complex simulations of past, current and future climate that are required to inform policy decisions. Because climate change is driven principally by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]), model estimation of future [CO2] will strongly influence climate projections. The inability of ESMs to confidently simulate the enormous CO2 fluxes ass...
متن کاملA roadmap for improving the representation of photosynthesis in Earth system models.
Accurate representation of photosynthesis in terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) is essential for robust projections of global change. However, current representations vary markedly between TBMs, contributing uncertainty to projections of global carbon fluxes. Here we compared the representation of photosynthesis in seven TBMs by examining leaf and canopy level responses of photosynthetic CO2 a...
متن کاملheterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
Explicitly representing soil microbial processes in Earth system models
Microbes influence soil organic matter decomposition and the long-term stabilization of carbon (C) in soils. We contend that by revising the representation of microbial processes and their interactions with the physicochemical soil environment, Earth system models (ESMs) will make more realistic global C cycle projections. Explicit representation of microbial processes presents considerable cha...
