Discussion Questions
What are key topics on vegetation/climate relationships that are best approached with simulation modeling?
What types of models, spatial scales, time periods can best fill this need?
What data sets are available to parameterize these models?
How can these models be tested?
Should the Montana vegetation modeling community interact more frequently? What might be good ways to do this?

Purpose of Workshop
1. Review the current approaches being used in the Northern Rockies
2. Evaluate utility, scope, limitations of each and needs for additional approaches
3. Increase communication and synergy among the community working on vegetation/climate issues.
4. Ultimately, improve our abilities to study, simulate, understand and manage RM ecosystems under climate change.
