The IMAGE-2 carbon cycle and biome model ([[Klein Goldewijk et al., 1994]]; [[Van Minnen et al., 2000]]) have been replaced by the Lund-Potsdam-Jena model with Managed Land ([[LPJmL model|LPJmL]]) model ([[Sitch et al., 2003]]; [[Gerten et al., 2004]]; [[Bondeau et al., 2007]]). An overview of the LPJmL model in the IMAGE context with regard to carbon and biome dynamics is presented here; the model and a sensitivity analysis is described in detail by Muller et al.

Key policy issues
- What is the role of the terrestrial biosphere in the global carbon cycle, how will it change in time as a result of climate and land-use change?
- To what extent can the terrestrial biosphere contribute to reducing the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere and what are viable mechanisms?
- What opportunities exist to reduce land-use related carbon emissions (e.g. REDD) and even enhance the carbon uptake through the establishment of new forests.
- What are the contributions of land-use change, climate change and CO2 fertilization on the future carbon cycle and how can these be considered in climate policies?
