Sentences with phrase «dynamic global vegetation»

Recent multi model estimates based on different CMIP3 climate scenarios and different dynamic global vegetation models predict a moderate risk of tropical forest reduction in South America and even lower risk for African and Asian tropical forests (see also Section 12.5.5.6)(Gumpenberger et al., 2010; Huntingford et al., 2013).»

Two of these key fields, namely climate envelope modelling (also called niche - based, or bioclimatic modelling) and dynamic global vegetation modelling have provided numerous recent results.

These interannual leaf variations are typically represented within the dynamic global vegetation model of a climate model.

Extrapolated to global scale, these are termed Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs, see Glossary).

The response of atmospheric CO2 and climate to the reconstructed variability in solar irradiance and radiative forcing by volcanoes over the last millennium is examined by applying a coupled physical — biogeochemical climate model that includes the Lund - Potsdam - Jena dynamic global vegetation model (LPJ - DGVM) and a simplified analogue of a coupled atmosphere — ocean general circulation model.

Beginning in the 1990s, a handful of dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) have been developed, using parameterizations for many of the processes mentioned above.
