Description
The fundamental ecological processes of the planet are changing. Exactly how ecosystems will respond is not well known. This work is a study of two key ecosystems. How these systems will respond to global climate change and how they might ameliorate, or contribute to, climate change in the future was the subject of a project by SCOPE, the Scientific Committee on Problems in the Environment. The project had three objectives: firstly, a critical assessment of our understanding of the effects of climate on production and decomposition processes in coniferous forests and grasslands, temperate and tropical; secondly, a review of exact forest and grassland ecosystem models, and an evaluation of production decay processes; and thirdly, the development of a foundation for the design of diagnostic and predictive models to describe the effects of climate change on forests and grasslands.
