Sentences with phrase «model land carbon storage»
The positive feedback of increased soil temperature leading to increased decomposition and therefore natural carbon emissions is a fairly modest contributor to the total projected business as usual carbon emissions over the century: average IPCC AR4 model land carbon storage changes due to climate change yielded a 63 ppm CO2 increase over the counterfactual by the year 2100.

By using three different models to address the problem, the researchers encompassed in their answers the variability in estimates of forest cover, carbon storage in forests and costs of land management.
There are a wide range of hypotheses about the dominant controls and key parameter values governing land carbon storage, and a parallel range of ways in which these hypotheses are implemented in the codes of land models.
