a new version of integrated assessment model merge
the optimization model for evaluating regional and global effects of greenhouse gases reductionpolicies named merge is an actively usable tool for studying some aspects of the problem of climate change.it is first of all destined for the quantitative estimation of emission trajectories and results of applyingabatement measures. in the paper, the emphasis is on the adaptation of the integrated a...
متن کاملMERGE: An Integrated Assessment Model for Global Climate Change
Each period's emissions are translated into global concentrations and in turn to the impacts on mean global indicators such as temperature change. MERGE may be operated in a "cost-effective" mode supposing that international negotiations lead to a time path of emissions that satisfies a constraint on concentrations or on temperature change. The model may also be operated in a "benefit-cost" mod...
متن کاملPatuxent landscape model: integrated ecological economic modeling of a wathershed
The Patuxent Landscape Model (PLM) is designed to simulate fundamental ecological processes on the watershed scale, in interaction with an economic component that predicts the land use patterns. The paper focuses on the ecological component of the PLM and describes how the spatial and structural rescaling can be instrumental for calibration of complex spatially distributed models. The PLM is ba...
متن کاملLakeshore zoning has heterogeneous ecological effects: an application of a coupled economic-ecological model.
Housing growth has been widely shown to be negatively correlated with wildlife populations, avian richness, anadromous fish, and exotic invasion. Zoning is the most frequently used public policy to manage housing development and is often motivated by a desire to protect the environment. Zoning is also pervasive, taking place in all 50 states. One relevant question that has received little resea...
متن کاملApplication of eutrophication indices for assessment of the Bulgarian Black Sea coastal ecosystem ecological quality.
The present paper is an attempt to test the applicability of the trophic state index (TRIX) for scaling the eutrophication along the Bulgarian Black Sea coastal zone in concert with a number of chemical and biological descriptors aimed at selection of relevant indicators of marine coastal area ecological quality. The following environmental parameters have been considered: t(o), salinity, nutri...
