Biosphere model

[1] The representation of roots in TBMs (or LSMs), however, remains relatively crude.

Particularly, the dynamic functions of roots and phylogenetic basis of water uptake remain largely absent[2][3] in TBMs (or LSMs).

The Daisyworld computer simulation from 1983, calculated how radiant energy increased or decreased, dependent on the albedo effect, based on changes in the biosphere.

[4] The Simple Biosphere (SiB) model, presented by Sellers et al. in 1986, calculates transfer of energy, mass and momentum of the atmosphere and the vegetated surface of the Earth.

[5] A revised version was published in 1996 and incorporates satellite measurements.
