| Abstract |
- As managers of agricultural and natural resources are confronted with uncertainties
in global change impacts, the complexities associated with the interconnected cycling of
nitrogen, carbon, and water present daunting management challenges. Existing models provide
detailed information on specific sub-systems (e.g., land, air, water, and economics). An
increasing awareness of the unintended consequences of management decisions resulting from
interconnectedness of these sub-systems, however, necessitates coupled regional earth system
models (EaSMs). Decision makers’ needs and priorities can be integrated into the model
design and development processes to enhance decision-making relevance and “usability” of
EaSMs. BioEarth is a research initiative currently under development with a focus on the U.S. Pacific Northwest region that explores the coupling of multiple stand-alone EaSMs to generate
usable information for resource decision-making. Direct engagement between model developers
and non-academic stakeholders involved in resource and environmental management
decisions throughout the model development process is a critical component of this effort.
BioEarth utilizes a bottom-up approach for its land surface model that preserves fine spatial-scale
sensitivities and lateral hydrologic connectivity, which makes it unique among many
regional EaSMs. This paper describes the BioEarth initiative and highlights opportunities and
challenges associated with coupling multiple stand-alone models to generate usable information
for agricultural and natural resource decision-making.
