The model is grid-based and estimates the influences of (a) the rising atmospheric CO2 level, (b) the temperature change due to greenhouse effect, and (c) the clearing of forests and other natural vegetation, on the development of the biospheric pools, the soil organic carbon and the atmospheric CO2.  (from: Donigan, A.S.; et al.: 1994 : Assessment of Alternative Management Practices and Policies Affecting Soil Carbon in Agroecosystems of the Central United States. P.33.)  The model was renamed to HRBM (High Resolution Biome Model).
