| 英文摘要 | We hypothesize that climate change influences the emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and hence air quality both directly and indirectly. The direct effect is that the changes in the surface incident solar radiation and air temperature, among other variables, affect the vegetation=s capability to release BVOCs. The indirect effect is that the climate change will cause changes in the types of vegetation species as well as the prevalence of these species, thereby modulating the emission rates of BVOCs. In addition, human-driven land use change will also impact BVOC emissions. The objectives of this study are to: 1) integrate biogenic emissions modeling with land-surface biophysical and hydrological modeling into a regional climate model; 2) quantify the direct effect of climate change on biogenic emissions using Texas as a case study; 3) quantify the indirect effect of climate change on biogenic emissions using Texas as a case study; 4) investigate the potential impacts of changes in the physical climate, land cover patterns, and BVOC emissions over the next 50-100 years in Texas.The study area focuses on the State of Texas for three main reasons. First, the State has several urban areas that fail to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, including the Houston/Galveston, Beaumont/Port Arthur and Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan areas. Second, the elevated atmospheric ozone concentrations are not limited to the urban areas, but also extend throughout the eastern half of the State of Texas, including rural areas with high biogenic hydrocarbon emissions. Third, Texas' averaged state temperatures have varied substantially over the past century, with a warming trend since the late 1960s. This significant warming trend is projected to continue into the end of the 21st century. We will integrate the Community Land Model (CLM2), which includes a dynamic general vegetation model (DGVM), with a biogenic emission module (BEIS/GLOBEIS) to explicitly estimate BVOC emissions. The CLM2 simulates, at every time step, the exchange of water, carbon, energy, and momentum between the land surface and atmosphere through a wide range of ground and canopy bio-geophysical processes which BVOC emissions depend on. A newly mapped land use dataset with a spatial resolution of 1 km and over 600 classifications for the state of Texas, together with human-driven land use change in urban areas (Houston/Galveston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio, and Austin), will be used to estimate BVOC emissions. The DGVM will not only simulate the interactive vegetation processes (e.g., interaction between leaf growth and precipitation) but also include vegetation competition and distribution and dynamic disturbance (typically fire). The CLM2-DGVM with the biogenic emission module will be linked first to the NCEP re-analysis data for an "off-line" sensitivity study and then to a regional climate model (MM5) for an investigation of system "feedbacks" and future climate sensitivities. Particular care will be taken to separatethe effects of human-induced land use change.This research will generate two sets of complementary results. The first will provide understanding of the effects meteorological variables and land cover distributions have on the BVOC emissions at multiple scales of temporal and spatial resolution. The second will provide an integrated framework of the modeling system to quantitatively assess the effects of global change, including climate change and land use change, on regional BVOC emissions and air quality. The results of this work will help guide our response to potential climate change and land use change and, thus, provide more cost-effective allocation of federal and state environmental protection resources, as well as improve understanding of health risk and valuation. |
