TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the overview of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and their energy, land use, and emissions implications, and find that associated costs strongly depend on three factors: (1) the policy assumptions, (2) the socioeconomic narrative, and (3) the stringency of the target.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human-induced nitrogen–phosphorus imbalances alter natural and managed ecosystems across the globe
Josep Peñuelas,Benjamin Poulter,Jordi Sardans,Philippe Ciais,Marijn van der Velde,Laurent Bopp,Olivier Boucher,Yves Goddéris,Philippe Hinsinger,Joan Llusià,Elise Nardin,Sara Vicca,Michael Obersteiner,Ivan A. Janssens +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that limited phosphorus and nitrogen availability are likely to jointly reduce future carbon storage by natural ecosystems during this century and if phosphorus fertilizers cannot be made increasingly accessible, the crop yields projections of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment imply an increase of the nutrient deficit in developing regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass use, production, feed efficiencies, and greenhouse gas emissions from global livestock systems
Mario Herrero,Petr Havlik,Hugo Valin,An Maria Omer Notenbaert,Mariana C. Rufino,Philip K. Thornton,Michael Blümmel,F. Weiss,Delia Grace,Michael Obersteiner +9 more
TL;DR: This report presents a unique, biologically consistent, spatially disaggregated global livestock dataset containing information on biomass use, production, feed efficiency, excretion, and greenhouse gas emissions for 28 regions, 4 animal species, and 3 livestock products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global land-use implications of first and second generation biofuel targets

TL;DR: In this paper, an economic partial equilibrium model of the global forest, agriculture, and biomass sectors with a bottom-up representation of agricultural and forestry management practices was used to analyze the indirect land use change (iLUC) of expanding agricultural areas dedicated to biofuel production.
