«It is of paramount importance to account for
changes in Saharan
vegetation and dust emissions when
simulating past climate
change.
Taking into account CO2 - induced
changes in vegetation, global mean runoff under a 2 * CO2 climate has been
simulated to increase by approximately 5 % as a result of reduced evapotranspiration due to CO2enrichment alone («physiological forcing»)(Betts et al., 2007; Leipprand and Gerten, 2006).
Change in mean - decadal
vegetation carbon, annual NPP, and
vegetation carbon residence time
simulated by seven GVMs under HadGEM2 - ES RCP 8.5 forcings between A.D. 2005 and 2099.
In the next section, we will explore the impact of decadal soil water
changes on fire frequencies and
simulated vegetation changes over North America.
Rainfall
change and variability is very likely to affect
vegetation in tropical grassland and savanna systems with, for example, a reduction
in cover and productivity
simulated along an aridity gradient
in southern African savanna
in response to the observed drying trend of about 8 mm / yr since 1970 (Woodward and Lomas, 2004a).
Thus, it is reasonable to equate
changes in DGVM -
simulated vegetation (e.g., Figure 4.3) to
changes in community and population structures
in the real world.
