Use of a reservoir water quality model to simulate global climate change effects on fish habitat
Article Abstract:
The effects of climate change on fish habitat in the Douglas Reservoir, in Knoxville Tennessee, was studied. Current reservoir water quality models were used as tools for estimating the potential climate-change impact since these models simulate the effects of hydrology and weather on water quality. The availability of adult striped bass habitat before and after climate change was measured as a function of water temperature and dissolved oxygen concnetration. The results indicate that a doubling a atmospheric CO2 leads to increased reservoir temperature and decreased stripes bass habitat.

Application of patch models to examine regional sensitivity to climate change
Article Abstract:
Patch models for forest and vegetation dynamics can be utilized to examine the effects on climate change to the ecosystem. The effects of future and past climate change can be added to global circulation models to simulate changes in grassland and forest systems. Furthermore, the patch model provides accurate data on the effects of specific climate-altering factor on future forest dynamics and it can also provide several climate change scenarios.

The sensitivity of the water balance of a wet multilayer model pine canopy to variations in meteorological input
Article Abstract:
The impact of variations in meteorological input on the hydrologic balance of a wet canopy can be studied by using a multilayer canopy model. An application of this model to a pine forest canopy provides valuable insights into the sensitivity of the water balance to changes in vapor pressure, wind speeds, radiation and temperature. The use of this multilayer canopy model provides significantly more realistic simulations than a unilayer model.
