Region A currently has a mean annual temperature of \(14^{\circ}\text{C}\) and receives \(1200\) mm of rainfall each year. Its present leaf‑area index (LAI) is 3.0. Under a temperate‑forest vegetation type, LAI is assumed to increase by 0.1 for every \(1^{\circ}\text{C}\) rise in temperature and to decrease by 0.05 for each 10 % reduction in rainfall. If climate change raises the temperature in Region A by \(2^{\circ}\text{C}\) and reduces rainfall by 10 %, what will be the new vegetation classification and the new LAI? State whether the LAI change exceeds 0.2.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Temperate forest; LAI = 3.15; change does not exceed 0.2
