Acceleration of global warming due to carbon-cycle feedbacks in a coupled climate model
Article Abstract:
Research into the impact of carbon-cycle feedbacks on the acceleration of global warming is presented. A fully-coupled climate/carbon cycle model is used to show how climate change will be greater than has been forecast.

Projected increase in continental runoff due to plant responses to increasing carbon dioxide
Article Abstract:
Various experiments with a global climate model that has included a vegetation component is used for assessing the contribution of physiological forcing to the changes in continental runoff in the context of uncertainties in precipitations. The results have shown that the climate-forcing potential of all greenhouse gases assessed in terms of their radiative forcing potential relative to carbon dioxide does not accurately reflect the relative effects of different greenhouse gases on freshwater resources.

Contrasting physiological and structural vegetation feedbacks in climate change simulations
Article Abstract:
The impact on a doubled-carbon dioxide climate of structural vegetation and physiological feedbacks is calculated using an equilibrium vegetation model coupled to a general circulation model. Physiological vegetation-climate feedbacks are partly offset by vegetation structure changes in the long term, although important regional-scale effects are yielded from vegetation feedbacks. Climatic change induced by a CO2-enriched atmosphere could change vegetation cover density to ultimately produce a further climate feedback.
