Abstract
Northern Eurasia is undergoing significant changes associated with warming climate and with socioeconomic changes during the entire twentieth century. Climatic changes over this vast landmass interact and affect the rate of global change through atmospheric circulation and through strong biogeophysical and biogeochemical couplings. Current and future interactions and feedbacks to the global system of this carbon‐ rich, cold‐region component of the Earth system remain to a large extent unknown.The Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI; http://neespi.org), an international and interdisciplinary program, was established to address these issues. NEESPI's overarching science question is, How do we develop our predictive capability of terrestrial ecosystems dynamics over northern Eurasia for the 21st century to support global projections as well as informed decision‐making and numerous practical applications in the region? Since 2004, more than 100 international research projects have joined NEESPI, and the initiative has been endorsed by several international programs and projects.
