I got this: Climate: «a region with particular prevailing weather conditions» and when I looked further I see that vegetation is part of the definition of a climate, but I'm not clear on if the vegetation arises as a result of the typical weather patterns or not.

With respect to why there was a significant increase in tree density over the past several decades, Dolanc offers that the changes in the density and composition of lower - elevation forests are consistent with fire suppression; but that the density increases in high - elevation vegetation types (subalpine forests generally don't burn) are «more likely to be caused by changing climate.&raWith respect to why there was a significant increase in tree density over the past several decades, Dolanc offers that the changes in the density and composition of lower - elevation forests are consistent with fire suppression; but that the density increases in high - elevation vegetation types (subalpine forests generally don't burn) are «more likely to be caused by changing climate.&rawith fire suppression; but that the density increases in high - elevation vegetation types (subalpine forests generally don't burn) are «more likely to be caused by changing climate.»

(This behavior is, I think, associated with a relatively rapid cycling and equilibration between the atmophere and upper ocean, a slower equilibration with vegetation, and a slower equilibration with the deep ocean (and there's equilibration with exposed carbonates); equilibration with each successive C reservoir still leaves some of the atmospheric perturbation because the C is just being redistributed over a larger total reservoir (PS not necessarily maintaining the same equilibrium ratios, though I don't know about that much offhand).
