摘要: Dynamic global vegetation models encapsulate our knowledge of plant and ecosystem function. They have many potential applications but not all these are well developed, large differences among model predictions a concern. Fields application include analysis land–atmosphere biophysical interactions, carbon water cycling, climate impacts on structure, fire, atmospheric trace gas composition, Quaternary environmental changes, structure function through Earth history. There is scope to improve using wider range information from functional ecology, ecophysiology, remote sensing, measurement, paleoecology, paleobotany.
