In order to clarify the importance of seasonality, an analysis was made of changes in the distribution of Holdridge (1947) life zones with biotemperature incremented by monthly average temperature changes simulated for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration (Manabe and Stouffer, 1980). As Rownt

Emanuel, Shugart, and Stevenson have used an interesting and potentially instructive approach to the assessment of the impact of CO2 on climate. Particularly striking is the depiction in map form, using the Holdridge Life-zone Classification, of the expected changes in vegetation. It is therefore un
Despite 20 years of intensive effort to understand the global carbon cycle, the budget for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is unbalanced. To explain why atmospheric CO2 is not increasing as rapidly as it should be, various workers have suggested that land vegetation acts as a sink for carbon dioxid
The Rocky Mountains in the USA and Canada encompass the interior cordillera of western North America, from the southern Yukon to northern New Mexico. Annual weather patterns are cold in winter and mild in summer. Precipitation has high seasonal and interannual variation and may dier by an order of m
