Inter-generational and spatial equity issues of carbon accounts
Arnulf Grubler,Yasumasa Fujii +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the different regional and generational contributions to increases of CO2 concentrations resulting from fossil fuel use since the onset of the industrial revolution and proposed an intra-and inter-generational equity criterion for each human being to be allowed an equal emission right per year, independent of time or place lived.

The effects of global change on tropical ecosystems
Robert J. Scholes,N. van Breemen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, changes in atmospheric composition in the tropics are essentially the same as those in higher latitudes, despite differences in the source and sink strengths for trace gases, which can affect the functioning of tropical ecosystems through several processes, principally those related to carbon and nutrient assimilation and their interactions.

Scaling Issues in Forest Succession Modelling
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of scaling issues in forest succession modelling, focusing on forest gap models, is presented, where two modes of scaling are distinguished: (1) implicit scaling, taking scale-dependent features into account while developing model equations, and (2) explicit scaling, i.e. using procedures that typically involve numerical simulation to scale up the response of a local model in space and/or time.

A simple model for estimating methane concentration and lifetime variations
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple methane model is presented in which lifetime changes are expressed as a function of CH4 concentration and emissions of NOx CO and NMHCs, and the model parameters define the relative sensitivities of lifetime to these determining factors.

Response of the Météo-France climate model to changes in CO2 and sea surface temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the climate response to an increase in carbon dioxide and sea surface temperatures is examined using the Meteo-France climate model, which predicts the evolution of the ozone mixing ratio.
