A vulnerability driven approach to identify adverse climate and land
... These bottom-up approaches are sometimes also termed decision scaling or context-first approaches. They can be used in a wide variety of problems and have proved very useful for decision making when projections of the future are highly uncertain [Moody and Brown, 2013; Kunreuther et al., 2013].

Simulating effects of land use changes on carbon fluxes: past
... The impact of land use on the global carbon cycle and climate is assessed. The Bern carbon cycle-climate model was used with land use maps from HYDE3.0 for 1700 to 2000 A.D. and from post-SRES scenarios for this century. Cropland and pasture expansion each cause about half of the simulated net carbo ...
