Assessing uncertainties in land cover projections.
Understanding uncertainties in land cover projections is critical to investigating land-based climate mitigation policies, assessing the potential of climate adaptation strategies and quantifying the impacts of land cover change on the climate system. Here, we identify and quantify uncertainties in global and European land cover projections over a diverse range of model types and scenarios, ext...

Forest change detection is of vital importance for understanding global land c...
متن کاملUncertainties of forest area estimates caused by the minimum crown cover criterion
Defining "forest land" is a complex issue and has been discussed for decades. Today, a confusing multitude of definitions of forest land are in use making comparison of forest area figures difficult. But currently, comparability is receiving much attention when it comes to install market mechanisms for ecosystem services. Minimum crown cover is among the most frequently employed criteria of for...
متن کاملReducing Errors That Lead to Uncertainties in Thermal Conductivity Measurement
Thermal conductivity (k-value or λ-factor) is the fundamental driver of subsea thermal insulation system dimensions. It follows that an accurate determination of this parameter is a prerequisite for proper thermal design. Poor k-value data inevitably lead to inadequate system designs, which in turn can limit economic viability. This paper provides an overview of the error sources inherent to a ...
متن کاملUncertainties in global land cover data and its implications for climate change mitigation policies assessment
Land cover maps provide critical input data for global models of land use. Urgent questions exist, such as how much land is available for the expansion of agriculture to combat food insecurity, how high will be competition for land between food and bioenergy in the future as well as how much land is there available for afforestation projects? These questions can only be answered if reliable map...
