List of Experiments
Case 1:present GHG and LULC
Case 2:future (2040) GHG, present LULC
Case 3:present GHG, future LULC
(changes based only on demographic/technological/socioeconomic factors)
Case 4:future GHG and LULC
(2 – 1): effect of GHG change alone
(3 – 1): effect of LULC change alone
(4 + 1 – 2 – 3): synergistic effect of GHG and LULC together
Case 5: as with case 1, but LTM gives present LULC
based on climate of case 1 (first coupling experiment)
Case 6:future GHG; LULC based on future non-climate factors
but climate from case 5
Case 7:future GHG; LULC based on future factors
including climate from case 6 (complete coupling)
(6 – 5): influence of GHG plus non-climate-related LULC change
(7 – 6): influence of feedback of climate-influenced LULC change
(7 – 6)/(6 – 5): feedback ratio
The minus (-) symbol is not meant to represent an actual subtraction here;
it is intended to represent caculating the differences between the specified cases.
