Climatic Control of Vegetation Distribution: The Role of the Water Balance
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Improvement in the ability of the water balance to distinguish between climates similar in mean annual energy and water supplies but different in the seasonal timing of the two will help to predict the effects of changing climate on the future distribution of vegetation types.
