A framework for representing microbial decomposition in coupled climate models
Accurate prediction of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations is essential for evaluating climate change impacts on ecosystems and human societies. One major source of uncertainty in model predictions is the extent to which global warming will increase atmospheric CO2 concentrations through enhanced microbial decomposition of soil organic carbon. Recent advances in microbial ecology could help r...
متن کاملRepresenting induced technological change in models for climate policy analysis
Induced technological change (ITC),whereby the relative price effects of reducing greenhouse gas emissions stimulate innovation that mitigates the cost of abatement, is both tantalizing to decision makers and challenging to represent in the computational economic and engineering models used to analyze climate change policy. This overview reconciles the divergent views of technology and technolo...
متن کاملRepresenting Reasoning/Logic in System Dynamics Models
This paper intends to fuel a thought about representing and extracting reasoning in System Dynamics models. A perspective on the flow of information as policies in the system and also flow of information as logic or reasoning in the model is discussed. It also discusses how influences in the model are implemented as rate equations and challenges the impossibility in deriving these rate equation...
متن کاملExplicitly 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...
متن کاملRepresenting Humans in System Security Models: An Actor-Network Approach
System models to assess the vulnerability of information systems to security threats typically represent a physical infrastructure (buildings) and a digital infrastructure (computers and networks), in combination with an attacker traversing the system while acquiring credentials. Other humans are generally not included, as their behaviour is considered more difficult to express. We propose a gr...
