Projecting Cancer Incidence and Deaths to 2030: The Unexpected Burden of Thyroid, Liver, and Pancreas Cancers in the United States

TL;DR: Pancreas and liver cancers are projected to surpass breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers to become the second and third leading causes of cancer-related death by 2030, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model

TL;DR: The LPJ model as mentioned in this paper combines process-based, large-scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land-atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework, including feedback through canopy conductance between photosynthesis and transpiration and interactive coupling between these 'fast' processes and other ecosystem processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Future of Cancer Incidence in the United States: Burdens Upon an Aging, Changing Nation

TL;DR: Demographic changes in the United States will result in a marked increase in the number of cancer diagnoses over the next 20 years, and continued efforts are needed to improve cancer care for older adults and minorities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling the role of agriculture for the 20th century global terrestrial carbon balance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of the managed planetary land surface, LPJmL, which simulates biophysical and biogeochemical processes as well as productivity and yield of the most important crops worldwide, using a concept of crop functional types (CFTs).
