• Premise of the study: Near‐future climate changes are likely to elicit major vegetation
changes. Disequilibrium dynamics, which occur when vegetation comes out of equilibrium …

During the Anthropocene and other eras of rapidly changing climates, rates of change of
ecological systems can be described as fast, slow or abrupt. Fast ecological responses …

Numerous studies have underscored the importance of terrestrial ecosystems as an integral
component of the Earth's climate system. This realization has already led to efforts to link …

This study, as many other current investigations in palaeoecology is focused on the long-
term dynamics of vegetation and the extent to which they are controlled by climate change …

The Kyoto protocol has focused the attention of the public and policymarkers on the earth's
carbon (C) budget. Previous estimates of the impacts of vegetation change have been …
