In order to fully understand the role of climate-vegetation feedbacks on these timescales we need to treat the land-cover as a interactive element, by incorporating dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) within climate models. The earliest DGVMs were based on bottom-up \gap" forest models, which e ...
