"Terrestrial vegetation" refers to plants that grow on land rather than in water or other environments. It includes all the different types of plants found on the Earth's surface, such as trees, grasses, flowers, and shrubs. Full definition
The study shows that below ground conditions need to be considered to understand the distribution of terrestrial vegetation both historically and in the face of future climate change. (senckenberg.de)
Given the goal of mitigating climate change, it is important to consider all of the effects of changes in terrestrial vegetation and to work toward a better understanding of the full climate system. (realclimate.org)
Therefore, it is imperative that we are capable of anticipating the potential responses of global terrestrial vegetation to future changes in climate and atmospheric chemistry. (pnas.org)
