L
Thirty land systems as defined in CLUMondo, characterized by specific levels of built-up area, cropland area, livestock density and management intensity. +
High resolution land use and land use intensity based on GLC2000 and IMAGE land cover and land use. +
Land-use CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from deforestation, wood harvest, agricultural harvest, bioenergy plantations and timber decay. +
Determines the rate of technology development in learning equations. +
Average life expectancy of a person born in a given year.. +
Lifestyle parameters influence the relationship between economic activities and demand for energy. +
Production of livestock products (dairy, beef, sheep and goats, pigs, poultry). +
Determines the feed requirements per feed type (food crops; crop residues; grass and fodder; animal products; scavenging), specified per animal type and production system (extensive/intensive/backyard/intermediate/intensive/broiler/laying hens). +
M
MAGICC 6.0 parameters calibrated to emulate one out of 19 climate models. +
Mean Species Abundance (MSA) relative to the natural state of original species. +
Database on empirical relationships between environmental pressures and reduction in mean species abundance for terrestrial ecosystems. +
Management intensity crops, expressing actual yield level compared to potential yield. While potential yield is calculated for each grid cell, this parameter is expressed at the regional level. This parameter is based on data and exogenous assumptions - current practice and technological change in agriculture - and is endogenously adapted in the agro-economic model. +
Management intensity of livestock, expressed at the regional level. This parameter is based on data and exogenous assumptions, i.e. current practice and technological change in livestock sectors, and is endogenously adapted within the Agricultural economy component. +
Fraction of manure produced in staples that is spread on agricultural areas. +
Cost of an additional unit of pollution abated (CO2eq). A marginal abatement cost curve (MAC curve) is a set of options available to an economy to reduce pollution, ranked from the lowest to highest additional costs. +
Net costs of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. +
N
N and P discharge to surface water. +
Discharge of N and P to surface water from wastewater. +
Net natural exchange of CO<sub>2</sub> between biosphere and atmosphere (NPP minus soil respiration), excluding human induced fluxes such as decay of wood products. +
Ammonia emissions from applied nitrogen fertiliser and manure. +
