Description:
Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystem (GCTE) Focus 3 involves interdisciplinary research to improve our general predictive ability for selected agronomic species, grasslands and rangelands; for multi-species cropping systems; for managed forests; for major pests, diseases and weeds; and for soils. The research results will help national programmes to plan site-related management strategies and adaptive research for both today's rapidly changing environment, and for future conditions. The work of this Focus will interact with, and strongly build on, the very large body of existing and ongoing agronomic and forestry related work throughout the world.
