| Abstract: |
We propose to use the IPCC simulations for the 20th century and the 21st
century to drive a terrestrial biosphere model for South America and study the
potential vegetation redistribution under climate change. The potential
vegetation model require monthly data of temperatura, precipitation, rain-days
and wind speed. |
