TL;DR: The history of the CCSM, its current capabilities, and plans for its future development and applications are outlined, with the goal of providing a summary useful to present and future users.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnitude and evolution of parameters that characterize feedbacks in the coupled carbon-climate system are compared across nine Earth system models (ESMs), based on results from biogeochemically, radiatively, and fully coupled simulations in which CO2 increases at a rate of 1% yr−1.

The Partitioning of Evapotranspiration into Transpiration, Soil Evaporation, and Canopy Evaporation in a GCM: Impacts on Land–Atmosphere Interaction
TL;DR: The Community Land Model version 3 (CLM3) as mentioned in this paper does not reflect this global view of evapotranspiration partitioning, with soil evaporation and canopy evapsoration far outweighing transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation and soil feedbacks on the response of the African monsoon to orbital forcing in the early to middle Holocene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a climate model to show that changes in vegetation and soil may have increased the climate response to orbital forcing, and they found that replacing today's orbital forcing with that of the mid-Holocene increases summer precipitation by 12% between 15 and 22° N.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamic global vegetation model for use with climate models: concepts and description of simulated vegetation dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an approach in which ecological concepts from a global vegetation dynamics model are added to the land component of a climate model to grow plants interactively to simulate global biogeography, net primary production and dynamics of tundra, boreal forest, northern hardwood forest, tropical rainforest, and savanna ecosystems.
