Environmental consequences of CO2-climate interactions; The need for integrated resource analysis
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (USA)
The authors discuss how it is necessary to construct integrated regional resource analysis models to anticipate the consequences of increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide on important natural resources and societal activities. The needed integration must account for effects of both the carbon dioxide concentration itself and of the CO{sub 2}-induced climatic change, and interactions among resources. Most likely, existing models developed for separate resources will be linked together; in some cases, models will be developed specifically for this purpose. When models are linked together, it will be critical that they be compatible with the output from state-of-the-art climate models, and compatible with each other, in terms of spatial and temporal resolution and input/output variables.
