This award was used to hold one large workshop in Polson, Montana, in July 1997 to better understand the response of terrestrial ecosystems to increased carbon dioxide concentrations at large spatial scales and over long time periods, and to develop validation tests for models that attempt to simulate these processes. The workshop participants included members of the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis (VEMAP) and the CO{sub 2} Models/Experiments Activity for improved Links (CMEAL) groups. Results and recommendations of the workshop are summarized. A reprint of the paper ''Carbon Sequestration Studied in Western U.S. Mountains'' is attached
