Climate Change Biology

Climate change has moved from being a contested phenomenon to the top of the agenda at global summits. Climate change causes shifts in phenology; in other words, seasonal changes in plants and animals from year to year. Climate change is impacting ecosystems through changes in mean conditions and in climate variability, coupled with other associated changes such as increased ocean acidification and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. This book introduces a thematic issue dedicated to the interaction between climate change and the biosphere. It explores novel perspectives on how ecosystems respond to climate change, how ecosystem resilience can be enhanced and how ecosystems can assist in addressing the challenge of a changing climate.
