This conference will bring together scientists with backgrounds and research interests in terrestrial, aquatic and planetary productivity. The focus will be on responses of primary productivity to global change. This knowledge should serve as a basis for extrapolating into the future. Sixteen invited talks will address issues related to the determinants of primary productivity in relation to variations in weather and climate. Participants are encouraged to contribute talks or posters.
Informed speculation is encouraged.
