Biologically grounded predictions of species resistance and resilience to climate change.
Cole (1) remarked [it is] “axiomatic that the reproductive potentials of existing species are related to their requirements for survival”; this logic applies to understanding species’ capacities to respond to anthropogenic climate change. Extant species reflect the ghost of environments past: species traits such as physiological performance and tolerance are evolutionary products of environment...
متن کاملThe future of species under climate change: resilience or decline?
As climates change across already stressed ecosystems, there is no doubt that species will be affected, but to what extent and which will be most vulnerable remain uncertain. The fossil record suggests that most species persisted through past climate change, whereas forecasts of future impacts predict large-scale range reduction and extinction. Many species have altered range limits and phenoty...
متن کاملClimate Change Impacts on Protea Species: PDEAR Model Predictions
One of the major concerns today is global warming and climate change impacts, and how they are changing the distribution and behaviour of the plant species. For example, Proteas species in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa, are very sensitive to climate change. In this paper, we first arguing and the random fuzzy error structure for spatial modelling accuracy and then we are focusing on t...
متن کاملResistance and resilience of a grassland ecosystem to climate extremes
Climate change forecasts of more frequent climate extremes suggest that such events will become increasingly important drivers of future ecosystem dynamics and function. Because the rarity and unpredictability of naturally occurring climate extremes limits assessment of their ecological impacts, we experimentally imposed extreme drought and a midsummer heat wave over two years in a central U.S....
متن کاملIdiosyncratic species effects confound size-based predictions of responses to climate change.
Understanding and predicting the consequences of warming for complex ecosystems and indeed individual species remains a major ecological challenge. Here, we investigated the effect of increased seawater temperatures on the metabolic and consumption rates of five distinct marine species. The experimental species reflected different trophic positions within a typical benthic East Atlantic food we...
