Plants are “not silent witnesses to the passage of time but dynamic components that shape and are, in return, shaped by the environment.”
Shaping and being shaped; vegetation operates in feedbacks in the climate system, involving also the atmosphere, soils and the hydrological cycle.

Main aim:Improve NorESM using observations
NorESM
Improve representation of high latitude ecosystems and their climate interactions in NorESM by integrating data and knowledge from empirical ecosystem research in model parameterisation, development and testing

Main aim:Improve NorESM using observations
NorESM
Improve representation of high latitude ecosystems and their climate interactions in NorESM by integrating data and knowledge from empirical ecosystem research in model parameterisation, development and testing
Expected outcome:Better climate projections
for vulnerable high latitude regions
