Meeting Focus

The Land-Cover/Land-Use Change (LCLUC) Science Team meeting will be held jointly with the GOFC-GOLD Northern Eurasia Regional Information Network (NERIN) and the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI) in Tartu, Estonia.

The focus of this meeting is on monitoring processes related to land-cover and land-use change in boreal and temperate regions of central, eastern and northern Europe. Forests and other biomes in boreal and temperate zones comprise about a half of the world vegetation cover. To study processes in the boreal and temperate ecosystems as related to climate, the workshop is organized around 4 themes:

  • Changes in ecosystems, their composition and structure
  • Carbon Cycle
  • Water Cycle
  • Human dimensions of land-cover and land-use change
