BIOME4 earth science/paleoclimate/software STUDY NOTES: A coupled biogeography and biogeochemistry modeling software which simulates the equilibrium distribution of 28 major potential natural vegetation types (biomes) from latitude (for the calculation of incoming short-wave and photosynthetically active solar radiation), atmospheric CO2 concentration, mean monthly climate (i.e. mean monthly precipitation, temperature, and percent sunshine) and soil physical properties (water holding capacity and percolation rate). DISCIPLINE KEYWORDS: Climatology and Atmospheric, biogeochemistry.
