A simple model for assessing climate control trade-offs and responding to unanticipated climate outcomes

Ecosystem Simulations of the English Channel : Climate and Trade - Offs

Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) whole-ecosystem models were built for the English Channel (ICES areas VIId and VIIe) for the time periods 1973 and 1995. Using Ecosim, the 1973 model was run forwards with a time-series of fishing mortality data to assess how realistically it predicted the changes in biomass that had occurred. The parameters for both models were modified so that the biomass trends refl...

A one-model approach for Computation of congestion With productions trade-offs and weight restrictions

A Simple Model of Multiple Climate Regimes

Among the most intriguing enigmas of the climate system is that on the one hand, the earth’s climate appears to be exquisitely sensitive to relatively minor variations in the distribution of insolation owing to orbital variations, but on the other hand it is in a grosser sense stable, in that its oceans have not frozen over (at least not in the last 500 million years) or boiled away. To this en...

Oscillations in a simple climate–vegetation model

We formulate and analyze a simple dynamical systems model for climate–vegetation interaction. The planet we consider consists of a large ocean and a land surface on which vegetation can grow. The temperature affects vegetation growth on land and the amount of sea ice on the ocean. Conversely, vegetation and sea ice change the albedo of the planet, which in turn changes its energy balance and he...

Adaptation to climate change: trade‐offs among responses to multiple stressors in an intertidal crustacean

Trade-offs may influence both physiological and evolutionary responses to co-occurring stressors, but their effects on both plastic and adaptive responses to climate change are poorly understood. To test for genetic and physiological trade-offs incurred in tolerating multiple stressors, we hybridized two populations of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus that were divergent for both h...
