Description:
Simulated understory index (fraction of grass vegetation carbon in forest, ((aglivcx + bglivcx) / frstc)) averaged over 2046-2065 simulated by MC1 (Lenihan et al. 2008) at a 10 km x 10 km grid cell size under general circulation model PCM1 (Washington et al. 2000; Meehl et al. 2003) under the A2 emission scenario.
