Modelling of soil emissions of nitrous oxide for global studies
A global inventory with 1 degree time 1 degree resolution was compiled of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions to the atmosphere, including emissions from soils under natural vegetation, fertilized…
The objective of this study was to map the grass cover in Dutch heathland nature reserves using Landsat-TM satellite imagery. The grass cover data will be used to initialize the HEATHSOL-model. This…
Emissions inventories and options for control SUMMARY REPORT
This report is the final summary report of the project "Social causes of the greenhouse effect ; emissions inventories and options for control", funded by the National Research Programme on Global Air…
Scanning the Global Environment. A framework and methodology for UNEP's reporting functions
A conceptual framework for UNEP's reporting functions is proposed, aimed at supporting strategic environmental policy development. To this end information should be provided about the past, current…
Modeling the global society-biosphere-climate system: Part 1: Model description and testing
This paper describes the IMAGE 2.0 model, a multi-disciplinary, integrated model designed to simulate the dynamics of the global society-biosphere-climate system.
Modeling the global society-biosphere-climate system: Part 2: Computed scenarios
This paper presents scenarios computed with IMAGE 2.0, an integrated model of the global environment and climate change. Results are presented for selected aspects of the society-biosphere-climate…
Determining the potential distribution of vegetation, crops and agricultural productivity
The terrestrial biosphere component of the Integrated Model to Assess the Greenhouse Effect (IMAGE 2.0) uses changes in land cover to compute dynamically the greenhouse gas fluxes between the…
