Responses and feedbacks of coupled biogeochemical cycles to climate change: examples from terrestrial ecosystems
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org I an era of extensive environmental change, human activity – particularly the harvest of resources for food, fiber, and fuel – is substantially altering Earth’s climate and its element cycles (Vitousek et al. 1997; Figure 1). The need for energy to support economic growth has increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations...
متن کاملChanging feedbacks in the climate–biosphere system
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org T factors that determine properties of both ecosystems and the climate system have changed more rapidly in the past 50 years than during the previous 10 000 years (Steffen et al. 2004; Figure 1). Our children will probably see even more profound changes during their lifetimes. Some of these, such as changes in climate and atmospheri...
متن کاملBiophysical Feedbacks on the Regional Climate System
Experiments with coupled atmosphere/biosphere models indicate that land degradation leads to a reduction in rainfall, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and runoff, and an increase in surface temperature and near surface winds. This talk discusses studies that have investigated the feedback of degradation in forest and other ecosystems on regional climate in the Sahel, the central U.S., South Am...
متن کاملFeedbacks on climate in the Earth system: introduction.
In the last century, the Earth has undergone a very fast and unusual change in the radiative forcing of its climate, resulting from human actions. This change in forcing has resulted not only mainly from rising concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), but also from changes in the nature of the land surface and changes in the concentrations of aerosol particles in t...
