Grasslands are the most extensive terrestrial biome on Earth and
are critically important for forage, biodiversity, and ecosystem
services. This book brings together an international team of
researchers to review scientific knowledge of the effects of
climate change on world grasslands, a process we are only just
starting to understand. Part I assesses how climate change will
impact on the distribution of grasslands, as well as production,
biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem services. Part II considers
the consequences for the spread of invasive species, demographic
change, trophic-level relationships, soil biota, and evolutionary
change within grassland biodiversity. Part III proposes how
ecologists can respond to climate change effects, focusing on
grazing systems, cultural ecology, range management, and
restoration. The concluding chapter sets grasslands in the context
of the Anthropocene era and identifies the vital research and
conservation needs for grassland ecosystems to remain
environmentally sustainable under climate change.
