Exploring Future Flora, Environments, and Climates Through Simulations (EFFECTS)
Future climate change will alter the distribution of vegetation in North America and affect related ecosystem processes. This research uses state-of-the-art climate model simulations and vegetation models to simulate vegetation changes from 9 ka (9,000 years ago) to 2100 CE. We investigate the magnitude, rate, and drivers of vegetation responses to climate change across paleo to future time...
