What Does GCTE Stand For?

GCTE stands for Global Change And Terrestrial Ecosystems

GCTE, or Global Change And Terrestrial Ecosystems, is a comprehensive research initiative focused on understanding the impacts of global environmental changes—such as climate change, land use changes, and biodiversity loss—on terrestrial ecosystems. The program aims to assess the interactions between ecological processes and human activities, fostering collaboration among scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to develop strategies for sustainable ecosystem management and conservation. Through interdisciplinary research, GCTE seeks to enhance knowledge of terrestrial systems and their responses to global change, ultimately contributing to the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide to society.
