Global environmental changes, such as global warming, are being substantial, and its effects on the vegetation, including biome-distribution changes, are also becoming apparent. Such changes are forecasted to be continuing and, in many cases, accelerating during next few centuries. However, current modeling studies vary in their predictions, partly due to that this issue is a result of wide range of processes including plant ecology, climatology, hydrology, and land use. The aim of this session is to stimulate such integrated studies for interactions between land-ecological, hydrological, and atmospheric processes.
