Abstract

Dit boek beschrijft in detail de diverse antropogene oorzaken en processen die leiden tot biodiversiteitsverlies. Daarnaast komt de complexe relatie tussen biodiversiteit enerzijds en ecosysteemdiensten anderzijds aan bod. Ook worden de mogelijkheden tot herstel van biodiversiteit, en het spanningsveld tussen biodiversiteitsbehoud en voldoende voedselproductie bekeken.

Abstract

One major consequence of climate change is abrupt, dramatic changes in regional biodiversity. Even if the most optimistic scenarios for mitigating climate change transpire, the fate of many wild species rests on the shoulders of people engaged in conservation planning, management, and policy. Providing managers with the latest and most useful climate change research is critical and requires challenging the conventional divide between scientists and managers. Biodiversity in a Changing Climate promotes dialogue among scientists, decision makers, and managers who are grappling with climate-related threats to species and ecosystems in diverse forms. The book includes case studies and best practices used to address impacts related to climate change across a broad spectrum of species and habitats-from coastal krill and sea urchins to prairie grass and mountain bumblebees. Focused on California, the issues and strategies presented in this book will prove relevant to regions across the West, as well as other regions, and provide a framework for how scientists and managers in any region can bridge the communication divide to manage biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. Biodiversity and a Changing Climate will prove an indispensable guide to students, scientists, and professionals engaged in conservation and resource management.
