Download or read book Modelling the effects of atmospheric CO2 on vegetation-atmosphere interactions written by A D (Andrew) Friend and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of doubling atmospheric CO2 concentration (C-a) on climate and vegetation is investigated using a combined climate-vegetation model. The vegetation model predicts the response of leaf area index, canopy transpiration (E(T)) and whole-plant carbon balance to changes in climate, soil moisture, and atmospheric CO2 forcing. This model has been embedded in the UK Meteorological Office Single Column Model (SCM), which provides the climate feedback to the vegetation. The vegetation model uses an optimisation approach to predict stomatal resistance, a biochemical model to predict photosynthesis and a simple carbon balance model to predict leaf area. Respiration is calculated as a function of leaf area and vegetation height. Clouds are assumed to be radiatively passive in the SCM to avoid unrealistic feedbacks. Simulations were performed with the fully interactive vegetation-climate model for an Amazon location with the present-day value of C-a (1 x CO2), and twice this value (2 x CO2). In addition, two other types of simulation were performed at both CO2 concentrations: one in which the vegetation component was forced only with 1 x CO2, and one using a fixed surface resistance. The latter case is equivalent to simulations using most current general circulation models. In all the simulations, increased atmospheric CO2 caused an increase in surface temperature owing to increased radiative forcing. With a fixed resistance, mean E(T) was increased by 5.6% and sensible heat flux was reduced by 3.8%. The fully interactive model had significant effects on the response of both climate and productivity to C-a. Increased C-a caused stomatal closure, which resulted in a reduction in mean E(T) Of 25%. The effect of C-a on E(T) was amplified by the positive feedback resulting from the effect of increased air humidity deficit on stomatal resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international workshop on `CO2 and Biosphere' was held in Wageningen, the Netherlands on 15-19 November 1991 as part of the activities of the CO2 Commission of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research: this volume includes 32 papers presented at the workshop. The CO2 Commission stimulates and coordinates a broad range of research projects related to the greenhouse effect. This is reflected in the scope of papers presented, ranging from detailed analyses of ecological and physiological effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment to biosphere-atmosphere aspects, such as regional evaporation, energy balance and ecosystem responses. Relevant directions for future research are indicated by presentations on carbon fluxes in the soil, secondary plant metabolism and plant-insect interactions.

Curtis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As atmospheric CO2 increases there will almost certainly be alterations in soil carbon fluxes. It is likely that such alterations will be accompanied by changes in the partitioning of carbon between organic structures and to soil processes. These changes have the potential for further altering the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems. While there has been increasing recognition of the importance of soil-mediated responses to global climate change, the nature and magnitude of these responses are not well understood. In an effort to expand our assessment of the significance of belowground responses to rising atmospheric CO2, a workshop has been organized that resulted in the peer-reviewed contributions that are contained in this volume.

This book was released on 1988-07-31 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the excitement in boundary-layer meteorology is the challenge associated with turbulent flow - one of the unsolved problems in classical physics. An additional attraction of the filed is the rich diversity of topics and research methods that are collected under the umbrella-term of boundary-layer meteorology. The flavor of the challenges and the excitement associated with the study of the atmospheric boundary layer are captured in this textbook. Fundamental concepts and mathematics are presented prior to their use, physical interpretations of the terms in equations are given, sample data are shown, examples are solved, and exercises are included. The work should also be considered as a major reference and as a review of the literature, since it includes tables of parameterizatlons, procedures, filed experiments, useful constants, and graphs of various phenomena under a variety of conditions. It is assumed that the work will be used at the beginning graduate level for students with an undergraduate background in meteorology, but the author envisions, and has catered for, a heterogeneity in the background and experience of his readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropogenically derived carbon dioxide (CO2) and reactive nitrogen (N) compounds are altering the composition of Earth's atmosphere and impacting ecosystem function. I investigated the response of northern hardwood tree species to atmospheric CO2 and N deposition in order to determine how these global change factors might impact future forest functioning. I conclude that increases in atmospheric [CO2] and reactive N deposition will enhance seedling photosynthesis and survival in N-limited temperate forests because seedlings will use these atmospheric compounds as additional plant resources. However, N deposition will decrease arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization and this may alter future biogeochemical cycling and forest functioning. Alteration of forest functioning due to changes in plant resource availability can ultimately cause large-scale changes in forest composition, which we need to be able to anticipate if we are to manage forests effectively for a sustainable future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air pollution poses a serious threat to human health and the environment worldwide. It contributes significantly to regional and global atmospheric issues such as global warming, acidification and depletion of the ozone layer. It affects every living thing, including all kinds of vegetation on which we depend for our survival. Although several works have appeared on air pollution, few, are able to provide the broad background that encompasses the whole gamut of plant responses to atmospheric insult. This multi-authored work integrates the varied plant growth responses to the pollution stress; the focus of the attention is plant rather than pollutant. This portrays a clearer picture of plant performance versus air pollution, and helps develop a better insight of the pollution-based disturbances at the different levels of plant life. The book shall interest both students and researchers of environmental botany and forestry as well as all those who love plants and have any interest towards global vegetation and environmental health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of carbon dioxide extends from cellular to global levels of organization and potential ecological deterioration may be the result of increased CO2 in our atmosphere. Recently, the research emphasis shifted from studies of photosynthesis pathways and plant growth to ground-breaking studies of carbon dioxide balances in ecosystems, regions, and even the entire globe. Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems addresses these new areas of research. Economically important woody ecosystems are emphasized because they have substantial influence on global carbon dioxide balances. Herbaceous ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, prairies, wetlands) and crop ecosystems are also covered. The interactions among organisms, communities, and ecosystems are modeled, and the book closes with an important synthesis of this growing nexus of research. Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems is a compilation of detailed scientific studies that reveal how ecosystems generally, and particular plants specifically, respond to changed levels of carbon dioxide. - Contributions from an international team of experts - Empirical examination of the actual effects of carbon dioxide - Variety of terrestrial habitats investigated - Specific plants and whole ecosystems offered as studies

This book was released on 2005-08-31 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of rising levels of greenhouse gases—and the global consequences for crops! Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that causes global warming and directly impacts every aspect of plant life and indirectly impacts animal and human life. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen dramatically over the past century, and though this could mean opportunities for better growth and increased yield of certain crops, other factors like weather extremes and changes to plant physiology may mitigate the positive effects. Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide comprehensively analyzes every aspect of crop responses to increasing carbon dioxide as well as their productional significance for the world. Changes in the growth rate and yield of crops are explored, with attention given to the consequences of coming weather changes on production and the expected economic impact. Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide takes the data gleaned from careful research to provide an in-depth vision of the impact of carbon dioxide on global temperatures, plant physiology, and the ecological and economic future of our world. Respected authorities thoroughly discuss the research detailing the complete range of issues from plant growth under increased carbon dioxide levels to the impact of rising air temperatures to the evolving ecophysiological responses within various crops. Extensive references provide opportunities for further research while detailed tables and graphs clearly illustrate data. Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide explores the effects of carbon dioxide enrichment on: plants, crops, and vegetation—is it beneficial? growth, yield, and photosynthetic responses in rice the photosynthetic capacity and productivity of rice under field conditions—and the role of nitrogen fertilization forage and grain nitrogen content potato crops crop responses including interaction with temperature the growth of maize different agricultural systems around the world—such as central and southeastern Europe, northern climates, Sudan, citrus-growing regions, and others the production ecophysiology of Hungarian green pepper and much more! The impending changes in our world make Ecological Responses and Adaptations of Crops to Rising Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide a valuable text for educators and postgraduate students in the field of plant ecology and crop production and an essential resource for researchers in the fields of plant ecology, ecophysiology, agricultural crop production, and environmental sciences.
