We quantify the risks of climate-induced changes in key ecosystem processes during the
21st century by forcing a dynamic global vegetation model with multiple scenarios from 16 …

The functioning of many ecosystems and their associated resilience could become severely
compromised by climate change over the 21st century. We present a global risk analysis of …

Climate change may pose a high risk of change to Earth's ecosystems: shifting climatic
boundaries may induce changes in the biogeochemical functioning and structures of …

Besides the emissions from fossil sources, the anthropogenic land use changes (clearings
and similar influences) the CO2 fertilization effect on the biosphere, and potential climatic …

Earth's forests harbor extensive biodiversity and are currently a major carbon sink. Forest
conservation and restoration can help mitigate climate change; however, climate change …

Aim Climate change threatens to shift vegetation, disrupting ecosystems and damaging
human well‐being. Field observations in boreal, temperate and tropical ecosystems have …

A simple Earth system model is developed by coupling a box model of the global carbon
cycle to an energy-balance approximation of global temperature. The model includes a …

In most scenario calculations to date, emissions from fossil-fuel burning are prescribed, and
a carbon cycle model computes the time evolution of atmospheric CO2 as the residual …

The future of the land carbon sink is a significant uncertainty in global change projections.
Here, key controls on global terrestrial carbon storage are examined using a simple model …

The Kyoto protocol has focused the attention of the public and policymarkers on the earth's
carbon (C) budget. Previous estimates of the impacts of vegetation change have been …
