Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model
Stephen Sitch,Benjamin Smith,Iain Colin Prentice,Almut Arneth,Alberte Bondeau,Wolfgang Cramer,Jed O. Kaplan,Samuel Levis,Samuel Levis,Wolfgang Lucht,Martin T. Sykes,Kirsten Thonicke,Sergey Venevsky +12 more
TL;DR: The LPJ model as mentioned in this paper combines process-based, large-scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land-atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework, including feedback through canopy conductance between photosynthesis and transpiration and interactive coupling between these 'fast' processes and other ecosystem processes.

A review of biomass burning emissions part III: intensive optical properties of biomass burning particles
Jeffrey S. Reid,Thomas F. Eck,Sundar A. Christopher,Ralf Koppmann,Oleg Dubovik,Daniel P. Eleuterio,Brent N. Holben,Elizabeth A. Reid,Jianglong Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and discuss the literature concerning the measurement of smoke particle size, chemistry, thermodynamic properties, and emission factors, and show that very large differences in measured particle properties have appeared in the literature, in particular with regards to particle carbon budgets.

Black carbon in soils and sediments: Analysis, distribution, implications, and current challenges
TL;DR: The ubiquity of black carbon (BC) produced by incomplete combustion of plant material and fossil fuels in peats, soils, and lacustrine and marine sediments is discussed in this article.

A global high-resolution emission inventory for ammonia
Alexander F. Bouwman,David S. Lee,W.A.H. Asman,Frank Dentener,K.W. Van Der Hoek,J. G. J. Olivier +5 more
TL;DR: A global emissions inventory for ammonia (NH3) has been compiled for the main known sources on a 1° × 1° grid, suitable for input to global atmospheric models as mentioned in this paper.

Nitrogen in crop production: An account of global flows
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that despite some significant local and regional losses, the world's agricultural land accumulates N. The best evidence suggests that in spite of some significant localized losses, agricultural land still accumulates about 85% of the reactive N in the world.
