Summary

Abstract: The Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP) Phase 2 has developed a data set of ~100-year gridded monthly and daily time series of climate for the conterminous United States that includes realistic interannual variability. This data set has been used to compare time-dependent ecological responses of biogeochemical and coupled biogeochemical-biogeographical modesl to historical time series and projected scenarios of climate, atmospheric CO2, and N-Deposition, and N-Deposition.
