BASS - Biodiversity Assessments at Small Scales [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes
Much of the work developed on biodiversity dynamics due to climate change focuses on large scales. Yet, we know that small scale is critical to fully understand biodiversity change, particularly for plants and small or less mobile organisms which might ...

BVOCs and global change

Trends in Plant Science, 2010
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) produced by plants are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense. They are emitted from vegetation into the atmosphere and have significant effects on other organisms and on atmospheric chemistry and physics.

A global assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity [PDF]

, 2013
This paper presents a global scale assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity. Patterns of climate change from 21 Global Climate Models (GCMs) under four SRES scenarios are applied to a global hydrological model to estimate water ...

GCAM v5.1: representing the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2019
This paper describes GCAM v5.1, an open source model that represents the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems. GCAM is a market equilibrium model, is global in scope, and operates from 1990 to 2100 in 5-year time steps.

The Influence of Ozone on Net Ecosystem Production of a Ryegrass–Clover Mixture under Field Conditions

Atmosphere, 2021
In order to understand the effect of phytotoxic tropospheric ozone (O3) on terrestrial vegetation, we quantified the impact of current O3 concentration ([O3]) on net ecosystem production (NEP) when compared to the conditions of the pre-industrial era. We
