Objectives:

• Look at structural model uncertainties, could be done by sector / closely related sectors, such as biomes, forests, hydrology
• Find systematic ways for accounting for uncertainties in socio-economic drivers in addition to climate and impact model uncertainties
• Evaluate the sensitivity of dynamic forest models to the formulation of regeneration processes using a wide range of models from the PROCLIAS members
• Compare the simulated regeneration niche with the observed regeneration niche from a large database of natural forest dynamics
• Assessment of structural model uncertainty in the simulation of another subject (e.g. carbon balance, C allocation) or focus on disturbances, etc.
