Researchers introduced a simulated carbon cycle to the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, broadening its utility and enabling new research directions.
Differences in the rainfall intensity of mesoscale convective systems and other types of warm—season rainfall in the central United States lead to differences in their impacts over land.
Soil microbial communities produced more water retaining molecules when enriched with insoluble organic carbon, chitin, compared to a soluble carbon source, N-acetylglucosamine.
PNNL researchers used the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) to explore 15 different global scenarios that consisted of combinations of five different socioeconomic futures and four different climatic futures.
A team of researchers led by scientists from PNNL simulated carbon cycling and community composition during 100 years of forest regrowth following disturbance.
