ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 138 Annex 5 - Abbreviations In the following we list and explain some of the more frequently used abbreviations for the convenience of the reader. Typically these abbreviations have been explained also on first appearance in the text by a footnote. A a.s.l. A1f A2 AC AET ATEAM ATEAM-grid AVEC B1 B2 C CD-ROM CGCM2 CO2 CRU CSIRO2 E EnC EU GCM GIS GPP HadCM3 IPCC LPJ N NEE NHy NOx NPP NUTS2 PA PCM Adaptation to global change Above sea level see SRES see SRES Adaptive Capacity Actual Evapotranspiration Advanced terrestrial Ecosystem Analysis and Modelling. The acronym of this project. ATEAM produces spatially explicit results for Europe with a resolution of 10’x10’, that is approximately 16x16 km per grid cell. Integrated Assessment of Vulnerable Ecosystems under Global Change, concerted action funded by the EU, contract No. EVK2-2001-00074 see SRES see SRES Carbon Compact disk with read-only memory A general circulation model used to estimate climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions Carbon Dioxide Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK A general circulation model used to estimate climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions Exposure to global change Environmental Classification of Europe European Union General Circulation Model. Model of the climate system that is used to calculate climatic trends from emission scenarios. ATEAM used four GCMs: HadCM3, CSIRO2, CGCM2, PCM. Geographical Information System Gross Primary Production A general circulation model used to estimate climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change The Lund-Potsdam-Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model. A model that uses input on climate, land use, soil and atmosphere to calculate vegetation growth. Nitrogen Net Ecosystem Exchange. The difference between net primary production and heterotrophic respiration. Reduced Nitrogen Forms Nitrous Oxides Net Primary Production. The difference between gross primary production and autotrophic respiration. Nomenclature des Units Territoriales Statistiques 2: regions or provinces within a country. There are around 500 NUTS2 units, as apposed to only 17 EU countries. Planned Adaptation A general circulation model used to estimate climate change resulting from greenhouse gas emissions
ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 139 PET PI Rh RI S SOC Potential Evapotranspiration Potential Impact of global change Heterotrophic Respiration Residual Impact of global change Sensitivity to global change Soil Organic Carbon. The amount of organic carbon that is contained in the soil of terrestrial ecosystems. The soil accounts for two-thirds of the global terrestrial carbon stocks. SRES Special Report on Emission Scenarios. There are four scenario families (A1, A2, B1, B2) representing different future worlds with different greenhouse gas emission trajectories. The A1f is a special scenario within the A1 family, representing a world with intensive fossil fuel use. V WP Vulnerability to global change Work Package. This project is subdivided into a number of work packages which tackle tasks necessary to achieve the overall objective.
