+  * Computed using a dynamical vegetation module,
+  * or prescribed as in PI, with phenology computed for models with active carbon cycle
+  * or prescribed from data
+No change in ice sheet extent
+===== Carbon cycle =====
+Interactive, with atmospheric concentration prescribed and ocean and land carbon fluxes diagnosed as recommended in CMIP5
+===== Dust cycle =====
+We invite the modelling groups planning to run simulations with an interactive dust cycle to comment on the most appropriate methodology for their model, in particular as to their ability to use an interactive vegetation description.
