Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions are expected to increase mean global temperature
by 2-4oC in the next 50-100 years. The
consequences of this warming for primary ecosystem processes are not
yet understood, and have become the focus of an
emergent field of ecological research. This proposal seeks support
to bring together a multi-disciplinary, international group
of scientists to synthesize data from existing temperature manipulation
and natural gradient studies to develop a conceptual
and mechanistic framework in which to evaluate the effects of elevated
temperature, both alone and in combination with
other vectors of global change, on terrestrial ecosystems. In addition,
we will use this forum to discuss and launch a new
GCTE Ecosystem Warming Network, which will have far reaching effects
in supporting and promoting future information
exchange, technology transfer, and synthesis efforts in ecosystem warming
research.
