                    Science questions of interest include, How will
                    climate change alter the turnover of individual
                    trees and of carbon in forest ecosystems? How
                    sensitive are rates of forest range shifts to
                    interannual and multi-decadal climate variability?
                    How sensitive is forest development to variation in
                    tree recruitment following disturbance?&nbsp; With what
                    level of detail must forest demographic processes be

                    wide range of activities including (a) synthesis of
                    data from diverse sources, such as permanent plots
