Abstract

A method is presented for extrapolating the results of site-level ecosystem studies to regional scales. Simple, data-intensive models of ecosystem function are combined with regional data planes describing physical and chemical climate to yield regional predictions. The importance of validating regional predictions with rigorous regional measurements is stressed. Examples of available models and validation data sets are presented.
