Background to the Document

A workshop was organized by the Land Use Interagency Working Group (LUIWG) of the US Climate Change Research Program (USCCRP) on November 19-21, 2003 to bring together representative university and federal agency scientists and stakeholders to expand on the Land Use and Land Cover Change components of the Climate Change Strategic Plan. The attendees were charged with reviewing the Land Use Chapter of the Strategic Plan and further developing the research elements, focusing on what needs to be done, providing an indication of priorities for the science and stakeholder communities and a broad assessment of resource levels and timing needed to achieve the various research goals.   This document has been reviewed by the meeting attendees and may be used as input by the LUIWG in the development of its program implementation plan."
