The impacts of global climate change on different aspects humanity’s diverse life-support systems are complex and often difficult to predict. To facilitate policy decisions mitigation adaptation strategies, it is necessary understand, quantify, synthesize these climate-change impacts, taking into account their uncertainties. Crucial an understanding how in sectors overlap, as overlapping increase exposure, lead interactions likely raise pressure. As a first step we develop herein framework...

Terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is the largest component of global carbon cycle and a key process for understanding land ecosystems dynamics. In this study, we used GPP estimates from combination eight biome models participating in Inter-Sectoral Impact-Model Intercomparison Project phase 2a (ISIMIP2a), Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS) product, data-driven product (Model Tree Ensemble, MTE) to study spatiotemporal variability at regional levels. We found 2000–2010...

Abstract The release of carbon dioxide from the soil to atmosphere, known as respiration, is second largest terrestrial flux after photosynthesis, but convergence data-driven estimates unclear. Here we collate all historical global respiration analyze and uncertainty in estimates. Despite development a dataset advanced scaling techniques last two decades, find that inter-model variability has increased. Reducing not an easy task, when puzzle pieces cycle fit together perfectly, climate...

Abstract Carbon fluxes at the land‐atmosphere interface are strongly influenced by weather and climate conditions. Yet what is usually known as “climate extremes” does not always translate into very high or low carbon so‐called “carbon extremes.” To reveal patterns of how extremes influence terrestrial fluxes, we analyzed interannual variations in ecosystem simulated Terrestrial Biosphere Models (TBMs) Inter‐Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project. At global level, TBMs reduced net...

Abstract. Climate change and its impacts already pose considerable challenges for societies that will further increase with global warming (IPCC, 2014a, b). Uncertainties of the climatic response to greenhouse gas emissions include potential passing large-scale tipping points (e.g. Lenton et al., 2008; Levermann 2012; Schellnhuber, 2010) changes in extreme meteorological events (Field 2012) complex on (Hallegatte 2013). Thus climate mitigation is considered a necessary societal avoiding...
