The shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions to 2500
Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are the main driver of current and future climate change. The integrated assessment community has quantified anthropogenic…
Are scenario projections overly optimistic about future yield progress?
Historical increases in agricultural production were achieved predominantly by large increases in agricultural productivity. Intensification of crop and livestock production also plays a key role in…
Impacts of climate change on energy systems in global and regional scenarios
Although our knowledge of climate change impacts on energy systems has increased substantially over the past few decades, there remains a lack of comprehensive overview of impacts across spatial…
Co-benefits of black carbon mitigation for climate and air quality
Mitigation of black carbon (BC) aerosol emissions can potentially contribute to both reducing air pollution and climate change, although mixed results have been reported regarding the latter. A…
Modeling Process-Based Biogeochemical Dynamics in Surface Fresh Waters of Large Watersheds With the IMAGE-DGNM Framework
Humans have strongly modified the functioning of the Earth's surface fresh waters, through pollution emissions and infrastructure, which has led to widespread ecological deterioration. Human…
Global rules for translating land-use change (LUH2) to land-cover change for CMIP6 using GLM2
Anthropogenic land-use and land-cover change activities play a critical role in Earth system dynamics through significant alterations to biogeophysical and biogeochemical properties at local to global…
Property price effects of green interventions in cities
Although green interventions, like nature-based solutions, contribute to more sustainable urban environments and provide ecosystem services to urban populations, some impacts are not well understood…
Progress and barriers in understanding and preventing indirect land‐use change
Climate change mitigation pathways have highlighted both the critical role of land‐use emissions, and the potential use of biofuels as a low‐emission energy carrier. This has led to concerns about the…
Lignite effects on NH3, N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions during composting of manure
Lignite effects on gaseous emissions during composting of manure were examined. Lignite amended manure decreased NH3 emission by 54% during composting process. CO2−emission from lignite treated manure…
