Dm. Whelpdale et Gr. Williams, LINKING AIR ISSUES WITH DOSE-RESPONSE AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL-CYCLE MODELS, Environmental monitoring and assessment, 46(1-2), 1997, pp. 59-71
This paper describes the roles that dose-response and biogeochemical-c
ycle models play in the comparative and integrated assessment of sever
al atmospheric issues. The two approaches are described briefly, as th
ey are commonly used, and as they might be applied when multiple stres
sors and receptors, and when interacting cycles, respectively, are inv
olved. Examples are drawn from the carbon and sulfur cycles to demonst
rate how knowledge of a cycle provides a useful link among various cur
rent pollution issues. Possible interactions and some shortcomings of
the two approaches are given, leading to suggestions for the appropria
te use of the two tools for scientific analysis and policy development
for the various air issues.
