“…Modeling studies focusing on a specific component of the Earth system have provided valuable insight into processes controlling their behavior and the direct impact of climate change. Meanwhile, more integrated modeling studies have been useful for identifying and quantifying potential interactions and feedbacks among various components of the Earth system and societal activities associated with environmental changes over Gelfan et al 2012;Iizumi and Ramankutty 2016;Magliocca et al 2013;Peng et al 2013;Tchebakova et al 2011 Air quality (aerosols, ozone, pollen, dust) Baklanov et al 2013;Darmenova et al 2009;Lu et al 2010;Siljamo et al 2013;Sofiev et al 2013;Soja et al 2004;Sokolik et al 2013;Sokolik 2015a, 2015b Carbon (in land and water) Bohn et al 2013Bohn et al , 2015Cresto-Aleina et al 2015;Dass et al 2016;Dolman et al 2012;Gao et al 2013;Glagolev et al 2011;Hayes et al , 2014Kicklighter et al 2013Kicklighter et al , 2014Kim et al 2011;Koven et al 2011;Kurganova et al 2014Kurganova et al , 2015McGuire et al 2010;Mukhortova et al 2015;Narayan et al 2007;Olchev et al 2009Rawlins et al 2015;Rossini et al 2014;Sabrekov et al 2014Sabrekov et al , 2016Saeki et al 2013;Schaphoff et al 2015;Schierhorn et al 2013;…”

During the past several decades, the Earth system has changed significantly, especially across Northern Eurasia. Changes in the socioeconomic conditions of the larger countries in the region have also resulted in a variety of regional environmental changes that can have global consequences. The Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI) has been designed as an essential continuation of the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI), which was launched in 2004. NEESPI sought to elucidate all aspects of ongoing environmental change, to inform societies and, thus, to better prepare societies for future developments. A key principle of NEFI is that these developments must now be secured through science-based strategies codesigned with regional decision-makers to lead their societies to prosperity in the face of environmental and institutional challenges. NEESPI scientific research, data, and models have created a solid knowledge base to support the NEFI program. This paper presents the NEFI research vision consensus based on that knowledge. It provides the reader with samples of recent accomplishments in regional studies and formulates new NEFI science questions. To address these questions, nine research foci are identified and their selections are briefly justified. These foci include warming of the Arctic; changing frequency, pattern, and intensity of extreme and inclement environmental conditions; retreat of the cryosphere; changes in terrestrial water cycles; changes in the biosphere; pressures on land use; changes in infrastructure; societal actions in response to environmental change; and quantification of Northern Eurasia's role in the global Earth system. Powerful feedbacks between the Earth and human systems in Northern Eurasia (e.g., mega-fires, droughts, depletion of the cryosphere essential for water supply, retreat of sea ice) result from past and current human activities (e.g., large-scale water withdrawals, land use, and governance change) and potentially restrict or provide new opportunities for future human activities. Therefore, we propose that integrated assessment models are needed as the final stage of global change assessment. The overarching goal of this NEFI modeling effort will enable evaluation

“…In addition the model of the vertical heat-water transfer in the soil-vegetation-atmosphere system (SVAT) utilizing the satellite data on underlying surface and a number of meteorological characteristics has been improved. Using the SVAT model, calculations of the water regime of the vast agricultural areas are carried out [Gelfan et al, 2012].…”
