Climate and Terrestrial Biosphere Interactions: Investigations with Coupled Models

题目：气候与陆地生物圈相互作用：耦合模式的研究陆地生物圈与大气的相互作用将通过一套数值模式进行研究。陆地表面模型（LSX）与全球生态系统模型DEMETER相结合，后者由威斯康星大学开发。DEMETER描述了全球植被群落和陆地碳库的结构和动态。PI正在研究以下气候机制下大气、生物圈和陆地表面之间的相互作用（生物物理和生物化学）：(1)当前气候；(2)全新世中期；(3)二氧化碳浓度为2倍的情景。这项研究很重要，因为它试图理解和模拟与气候变化有关的基本过程。该项目由USGCRP CMAP计划资助。

Abstract ATM-9408836 Foley, Jonathan University of Wisconsin Title: Climate and Terrestrial Biosphere Interactions: Investigations with Coupled Models Interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere will be investigated with a suite of numerical models. A land surface model (LSX) is coupled to a global ecosystem model, DEMETER, which was developed at the University of Wisconsin. DEMETER describes the structure and dynamics of global vegetation communities and terrestrial carbon pools. The PI is investigating the interactions (biophysical and biochemical) between the atmosphere, biosphere and land surfaces for the following climatic regimes: (1) the current climate, (2) the mid-Holocene and (3) a 2xCO2 scenario. This research is important because it seek to understand and model fundamental processes related to climate change. The project is funded under the USGCRP CMAP initiative.
