Improving 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 کاملImproving 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...

Ground-based and aircraft-based observation records show that the amplitude of this seasonal cycle has increase...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis and early Earth
Life has been built on the evolution and innovation of microbial metabolisms. Even with our scant understanding of the full diversity of microbial life, it is clear that microbes have become integral components of the biogeochemical cycles that drive our planet. The antiquity of life further suggests that various microbial metabolisms have been core and essential to global elemental cycling for...
