Journal ArticleDOI

Clark,Rutger Dankers,Pete Falloon,Akihiko Ito,Ron Kahana,Axel Kleidon,Mark R.

TL;DR: Seven global vegetation models are used to analyze possible responses to future climate simulated by a range of general circulation models run under all four representative concentration pathway scenarios of changing concentrations of greenhouse gases, finding uncertainties explain 30% more variation in modeled vegetation carbon change than responses of net primary productivity alone.

TL;DR: The root water uptake from local and regional to global scales was discussed at a workshop in Gif-sur-Yvette, France, with the central objective to develop a research strategy for the next 3-5 years, aiming at a systematic description of root functioning, rooting depth, and root distribution as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of vegetation change on the depth and distribution of plant roots are examined and compared with other factors and their treatment in models, and it is shown that changes in vegetation may influence the distribution of soil carbon and nutrients over time.
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the production of entropy : life, earth, and beyond
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the relationship between MEP and self-regulation in the climate system, and suggest that there is a link between MEP, self-regulation, and free energy transduction.
