About the Book

Global Vegetation Dynamics: Concepts and Applications in MC1 model describes the creation in the mid 1990s, architecture, uses, and limitations of the MC1 dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) that is being used by an increasing number of research groups around the world. The scientific foundation of most models is often poorly documented and difficult to access, and a centralized source of information for MC1, including the complete list of over eighty papers and reports with MC1 results will be useful to scientists and users who want to better understand the model and the output it generates.  Global Vegetation Dynamics: Concepts and Applications in MC1 model will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of climate change science, conservation science, biogeochemistry and ecology, as well as for land managers looking for a better understanding of the projections of climate change impacts and of the tools that have been developed to produce them.

Dominique Bachelet is a Senior Scientist at the Conservation Biology Institute in Corvallis and Data Basin Climate Center in Oregon. She is the Associate Professor in the Department of Biological and Ecological Engineering at Oregon State University. She was the former director of the Climate Change Science Team for the Nature Conservancy. She completed her Ph.D. in 1983 from Colorado State University working on biogeochemical cycles in the shortgrass prairie. She has authored several research articles including the Journal of Geophysical Research and a few book chapters. She is a member of the American Geophysical Union, Ecological Society of America and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
