A synthesis of the planning workshop on 'Vegetation and Climate Change', August 14-15 2007
This document was prepared by the National Committee for Earth System Science after widespread consultation with the vegetation dynamics community. It has been approved as the decadal strategic plan for vegetation dynamics research in relation to climate change by the Australian Academy of Science. It is hoped that it will be useful to researchers and funding agencies to guide research priorities.
