Abstract
A model is presented for predicting the response of global family diversity to global environmental change. The model assumes that three primary mechanisms determine diversity: the capacity to survive the absolute minimum temperature of a site, the ability to complete the life cycle in a given length and warmth of the growing season, and the capacity to expand leaves in a defined regime of precipitation and vegetation transpiration. The direct effects of CO 2 on vegetation transpiration are also included
