The biological effects of global warming should be of concern to
all thinking individuals, for warming could cause profound
disruption of natural ecosystems and could threaten many species
with extinction. This important book-the first to discuss in detail
the consequences of global warming for ecosystems-includes
commentary by distinguished scientists on many aspects of this
critical problem. Experts describe responses of animals and plants
to previous climate changes, interactions between various
environmental components (precipitation and soil chemistry, for
example), and synergisms between climate change and human
activities such as deforestation. They consider many specific
ecosystems, including tropical forests, the deciduous forests of
eastern North America, the forests of the Pacific Northwest,
Mediterranean-type ecosystems in California, arctic tundra, and
arctic marine systems. Offering discussions that are both factual
and speculative, the volume points the way to future investigations
of the implications of global warming.
