Produktinformationen zu „Climate Change Biology “
Climate change biology is a new discipline, born of the recognition that human-induced climate change is resulting in wholesale shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. Climate change biology explores the interactions of biological systems with the climate system, as well as the biological dynamics driven by climate change. The scope of the discipline is all of the effects of human greenhouse gas pollution on the natural world.
Klappentext zu „Climate Change Biology “
Climate Change Biology is a new textbook which examines this emerging discipline of human-induced climate change and the resulting shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The text focuses on understanding the impacts of human-induced climate change, but draws on multiple lines of evidence, including paleoecology, modelling and current observation. Climate Change Biology lays out the scope and depth of understanding of this new discipline in terms that are accessible to students, managers and professional biologists.The only advanced student text on the biological aspects of climate change
Examines recent and deep past climate change effects to better understand the impacts of recent human-induced changes
Discusses the conservation and other ecological implications of climate change in detail
Presents recipes for coping with accelerating climate change in the future
Includes extensive illustrations with maps diagrams and color photographs

Autoren-Porträt von Lee Hannah
Lee Hannah is Senior Researcher in Climate Change Biology the Betty and Gordon Moore Center for Science and Oceans at Conservation International (CI). Tracking with his interest in the role of climate change in conservation planning and methods of corridor design, he heads CI's efforts to develop conservation responses to climate change. He works collaboratively with the Bren School at UC Santa Barbara to model climate impacts on species in California, and with the National Botanical Institute in Cape Town, South Africa to model biotic change resulting from global warming in biodiversity hot spots in that region. He has written on the global extent of wilderness and the role of communities in the management of protected areas.

Rezension zu „Climate Change Biology “
"There is also an e-book version (Kindle) available, which will be welcome for students who have embraced portable readers such as iPads and tablet PCs. [T]he volume is otherwise beautifully presented, with numerous color diagrams and photographs of topical species, and is sure to draw out a real excitement in students and an enthusiasm to dig into the primary literature."--Quarterly Review of Biology
