Modeling the dynamics of the Integrated Earth System and the Value of Global Ecosystem Services using the GUMBO Model

A global unified metamodel of the biosphere (GUMBO) was developed to simulate the integrated earth system and assess the dynamics and values of ecosystem services. It is a ‘metamodel’ in that it represents a synthesis and a simplification of several existing dynamic global models in both the natural and social sciences at an intermediate level of complexity. The current version of the model contains 234 state variables, 930 variables total, and 1715 parameters.

Synchrony and second-order spatial correlation in host-parasitoid systems

1 Recent theoretical studies on population synchrony have focused on the role of dispersal, environmental correlation and density dependence in single species. Trophic interactions have received less attention. We explored how trophic interactions affect spatial synchrony. 2 We considered a host–parasitoid coupled map lattice to understand how the self‐organizing spatial patterns generated by such dynamics affect synchrony.
