61. Gross C emissions from naturally occurring forest fires do not account for regrowth of burned ecosystems and, therefore, are not appropriate flux estimates for use in this analysis [R. A. Houghton, in Global Biomass Burning: Atmospheric, Climate Biospheric Implications, J. Levine, Ed. (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1991)].

65. The BIOME model was developed specifically for assessing geographic responses of vegetation zones to climate change (39). Unlike other static models, BIOME uses physiological thresholds to temperature and water stress to predict regional plant functional types which are assembled into biomes on the basis of a dominance hierarchy. BIOME is more accurate in simulating current vegetation distribution than other models (37, 70, 72). Currently, no other static models simultaneously consider global climate change and agricultural expansion impacts on forests. Soil C emissions were based on earlier analyses [C. V. Cole, K. Flach, J. Lee, D. Sauerbeck, B. Stewart, Water Air Soil Pollut. 70, 111 (1993)].
