In recent years attention has focused on the
role of terrestrial biosphere dynamics in the climate system, and the
possibility of large land-atmosphere carbon cycle feedbacks under human-induced
future climate warming. During the 1990s rapid development of Dynamic Global
Vegetation Models (DGVMs) led a growing community to soon recognize the need
for model evaluation and intercomparison. In Cramer et al. 2000 six DGVMs were
run using identical forcing data based on the HadCM2 GCM climatology
(1860-2100) and the IS92a emission scenario.
