Journal ArticleDOI
The representative concentration pathways: an overview
Detlef P. van Vuuren,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Jae Edmonds,Mikiko Kainuma,Keywan Riahi,Allison M. Thomson,Kathy Hibbard,George C. Hurtt,George C. Hurtt,Tom Kram,Volker Krey,Jean-Francois Lamarque,Toshihiko Masui,Malte Meinshausen,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Steven J. Smith,Steven K. Rose +17 more
TL;DR: The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) as discussed by the authors is a set of four new pathways developed for the climate modeling community as a basis for long-term and near-term modeling experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The next generation of scenarios for climate change research and assessment
Richard H. Moss,Jae Edmonds,Kathy Hibbard,Martin R. Manning,Steven K. Rose,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Timothy R. Carter,Seita Emori,Mikiko Kainuma,Tom Kram,Gerald A. Meehl,John F. B. Mitchell,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Keywan Riahi,Steven J. Smith,Ronald J. Stouffer,Allison M. Thomson,John P. Weyant,Thomas J. Wilbanks +19 more
TL;DR: A new process for creating plausible scenarios to investigate some of the most challenging and important questions about climate change confronting the global community is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonization of land-use scenarios for the period 1500–2100: 600 years of global gridded annual land-use transitions, wood harvest, and resulting secondary lands
George C. Hurtt,George C. Hurtt,Louise Chini,Steve Frolking,Richard Betts,Johannes J. Feddema,Günther Fischer,J. Fisk,Kathy Hibbard,Richard A. Houghton,Anthony C. Janetos,Chris D. Jones,Georg Kindermann,Tsuguki Kinoshita,Kees Klein Goldewijk,Keywan Riahi,Elena Shevliakova,Steven J. Smith,Elke Stehfest,Allison M. Thomson,Peter E. Thornton,D.P. van Vuuren,D.P. van Vuuren,Ying-Ping Wang +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a harmonized set of land-use scenarios is presented that smoothly connects historical reconstructions of land use with future projections, in the format required by ESMs, in preparation for the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Global potential net primary production predicted from vegetation class, precipitation, and temperature
Stephen J. Del Grosso,Stephen J. Del Grosso,William J. Parton,Thomas J. Stohlgren,Daolan Zheng,Dominique Bachelet,Stephen D. Prince,Kathy Hibbard,Richard K Olson +8 more
TL;DR: A simple regression model is developed to estimate global net primary production (NPP) using climate and land cover data and predicts NPP for tree-dominated systems based on precipitation and temperature; but for non-tree- dominated systems NPP is solely a function of precipitation because including a temperature function increased model error for these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observing terrestrial ecosystems and the carbon cycle from space
David S. Schimel,Ryan Pavlick,Joshua B. Fisher,Gregory P. Asner,Sassan Saatchi,Philip A. Townsend,Charles E. Miller,Christian Frankenberg,Kathy Hibbard,Peter M. Cox +9 more
TL;DR: The spatial distribution of in situ data for carbon fluxes, stocks and plant traits globally is analyzed and the potential of remote sensing to observe these quantities is evaluated, with satellite observations providing the dense sampling in space and time required to characterize the heterogeneity of ecosystem structure and function.
