A Method to Study Response of Large Trees to Different Amounts of Available Soil Water

Description: A method was developed to study the effects of changes in precipitation amounts by intercepting water with PVC gutters and redirecting the water to adjacent plots. The net effect over two years was to redirect about 25% of the available water to one plot and restrict it to another. Additional precipitation increased diameter growth, litterfall and fine tootbiomass.

Technology Opportunities to Reduce U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Description: This report serves as the technology basis of a needed national climate change technology strategy, with the confidence that a strong technology R&D program will deliver a portfolio of technologies with the potential to provide very substantial greenhouse gas emission reductions along with continued economic growth. Much more is needed to define such a strategy, including identification of complementary deployment policies and analysis to support the seeping and prioritization of R&D programs. … more

Economic effects of projected climate change on outdoor recreation in Tennessee.

Description: Climate change projections from three General Circulation Models were used to adjust the temperature and precipitation in 2030 and 2080 in each of five ecological provinces in Tennessee to estimate the direct economic effects of the projected changes on recreation using the Tourism Climatic Index. The indirect effects on recreation were evaluated qualitatively, based on current demand for the unique values associated with current conditions. The results of the direct impact evaluation reveal th… more

The accuracy of climate models' simulated season lengths and the effectiveness of grid scale correction factors

Description: Global climate change is expected to impact biological populations through a variety of mechanisms including increases in the length of their growing season. Climate models are useful tools for predicting how season length might change in the future. However, the accuracy of these models tends to be rather low at regional geographic scales. Here, I determined the ability of several atmosphere and ocean general circulating models (AOGCMs) to accurately simulate historical season lengths for a te… more
