Global vegetation regions and climate change effects - The biome model

Global vegetation change due to climate change modelled by using
climate change models from Global Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFD,
Princeton), Goddard Inst. for Space Studies (GISS, NASA) and Oregon
State University combined with the by the Biomes classification system
(Cramer & Prentice 1990). Vegetation regions are defined by
parameters. University of Trondheim, Dep. of Geography, Norway
