TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify potential global impacts of different negative emissions technologies on various factors (such as land, greenhouse gas emissions, water, albedo, nutrients and energy) to determine the biophysical limits to, and economic costs of, their widespread application.

TL;DR: In this article, the perturbation airborne fraction (PAF) metric is introduced to measure and assess the effectiveness of negative emissions, and it is shown that the PAF can be used to quantify the effect of carbon cycle feedbacks on negative emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the representation of sugarcane crop in the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) model for climate impact assessment
Murilo dos Santos Vianna,Kenrick W. Williams,Emma Littleton,Ojeda Cabral,Carlos Eduardo Pellegrino Cerri,Quirijn de Jong van Lier,Toby R. Marthews,G. Hayman,Marcelo Zeri,Santiago Vianna Cuadra,Andrew J. Challinor,Fábio Ricardo Marin,Marcelo Valadares Galdos +12 more
TL;DR: In this article , a dataset composed of soil moisture, water and carbon fluxes and biomass measurements from field experiments across Brazil was used to calibrate and evaluate the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) for climate impact assessments in sugarcane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncertain effectiveness of Miscanthus bioenergy expansion for climate change mitigation explored using land surface, agronomic and integrated assessment models
Emma Littleton,Anita Shepherd,Anna B. Harper,Astley Hastings,Naomi E. Vaughan,Jonathan C. Doelman,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Timothy M. Lenton +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors compare the results of three different types of models under the same mitigation scenario (RCP2) consistent with a 2°C temperature target, and highlight the uncertainty in rapidly scaling up biomass energy supply, especially in dry tropical climates and in regions where future climate change could result in drier conditions.
