Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon residence time dominates uncertainty in terrestrial vegetation responses to future climate and atmospheric CO2
Andrew D. Friend,Wolfgang Lucht,Wolfgang Lucht,Tim T. Rademacher,Rozenn Keribin,Richard Betts,Patricia Cadule,Philippe Ciais,Douglas B. Clark,Rutger Dankers,Pete Falloon,Akihiko Ito,Ron Kahana,Axel Kleidon,Mark R. Lomas,Kazuya Nishina,Sebastian Ostberg,Ryan Pavlick,Philippe Peylin,Sibyll Schaphoff,Nicolas Vuichard,Lila Warszawski,Andy Wiltshire,F. Ian Woodward +23 more
TL;DR: Seven global vegetation models are used to analyze possible responses to future climate simulated by a range of general circulation models run under all four representative concentration pathway scenarios of changing concentrations of greenhouse gases, finding uncertainties explain 30% more variation in modeled vegetation carbon change than responses of net primary productivity alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The climatic and physiographic controls of the eastern Mediterranean over the late Pleistocene climates in the southern Levant and its neighboring deserts
TL;DR: In this article, a framework of eastern Mediterranean atmospheric circulation features interacting with the morphology and location of the southeast Mediterranean coast is proposed to explain the much-increased rains in Lebanon and northern Israel and Jordan as deduced from pollen, rise and maintenance of Lake Lisan, and speleothem formation in areas currently arid and semiarid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synoptic climatology of major floods in the Negev Desert, Israel
TL;DR: This paper examined the extent to which the floods in the Negev Desert, an area that constitutes the southern half of Israel, are not the outcome of purely local weather conditions but are the result of distinct synoptic-scale events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global and European climate impacts of a slowdown of the AMOC in a high resolution GCM
Laura Jackson,Ron Kahana,Tim Graham,Mark A. Ringer,Tim Woollings,Jennifer Mecking,Richard Wood +6 more
TL;DR: The impacts of a hypothetical slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are assessed in a state-of-the-art global climate model (HadGEM3), with particular emphasis on Europe as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Major agricultural changes required to mitigate phosphorus losses under climate change
M.C. Ockenden,Michael Hollaway,Keith Beven,Adrian L. Collins,Robert Evans,Pete Falloon,K. J. Forber,Kevin M. Hiscock,Ron Kahana,Christopher J.A. Macleod,Wlodzimierz Tych,M. L. Villamizar,Catherine Wearing,Paul J. A. Withers,Jian Guo Zhou,Philip A. Barker,S. Burke,Jim Freer,Penny J Johnes,M. A. Snell,Ben Surridge,Philip M. Haygarth +21 more
TL;DR: The authors use P flux data, climate simulations and P transfer models to show that only large scale agricultural change will limit the effect of climate change on average winter phosphorus loads in three catchments across the UK.
