From page 46...
... • How do vegetation productivity changes influence soil warming and associated changes in permafrost thaw and carbon cycling? (and vice versa)
From page 47...
... Suggested discussion questions: • What are the major knowledge gaps in current understanding of northern latitude vegetation dynamics and change? • What are the research questions that need to be asked to address these gaps?
