Integrating Ecosystem Heterogeneity to Enhance ESM Performance (iEcoH)

Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2018,

Earth system models (ESM) are widely used to predict future climate and inform policy (e.g. IPCC). Recent research suggests that ESM do a poor job predicting future climate because they exclude microbial biogeochemical cycling and soil heterogeneity (e.g. texture), which affect the climate system. As an ecosystem ecologist with a strong background in microbial drivers of biogeochemistry, my primar ...
