Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: A range of ecosystem models and scenarios of climate and land-use change to conduct a Europe-wide assessment of ecosystem service supply during the 21st century, finding that many changes increase vulnerability as a result of a decreasing supply of ecosystem services.

TL;DR: This article synthesized sedimentary charcoal records of biomass burning since the last glacial maximum (LGM) and present global maps showing changes in fire activity for time slices during the past 21,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of fire disturbance for global vegetation dynamics: coupling fire into a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model
TL;DR: A fire model, running inside the modular framework of the Lund-Potsdam-Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model, yielded fire return intervals in good agreement with observations for many regions (except parts of semiarid Africa and boreal Siberia), and it is suggested that further improvement for these regions must involve additional process descriptions such as permafrost and fuel/fire dynamics.
