Carbon Dioxide, Populations, and Communities (Hardcover)

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate. As global levels of CO2 increase, changes in climate, the size of polar ice-caps, and consequent changes in shorelines are anticipated. Just as important are the responses of communities of plants and animals to these dramatic changes.;This book focuses upon responses of population and communities, as well as the resulting evolutionary responses to elevated carbon dioxide levels. An international team of researchers has been assembled to explore three important impacts of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.;In the first section, populations are the focus because they are composed of many individual organisms and each has a slightly different genetic response to CO2. The second part of the book is devoted to community level responses. And the third segment of the book concerns the ways in which different sorts of organisms interact in CO2 rich circumstances.;A final section is devoted to theory, modelling, and concepts. By laying the scientific foundation for future studies of the continuing impact of carbon dioxide, this volume will help replace the hyperbole of anticipated impact with the
