Biodiversity and Climate Change: Consequences for Norway Spruce Mountain Forests in Slovakia
Study of the effects of climate change on Norway Spruce (Picea abies) forests has mainly focused on the diversity of tree species diversity of tree species as a result of the ability of species to tolerate temperature and moisture changes as well as some effects of disturbance regime changes. The tree species’ diversity changes in spruce forests due to climate change have been analyzed via gap ...
متن کاملClimate Change, Causes
To summarize evidence discussed elsewhere in this volume, past climate change can be detected on time scales of decades to hundreds of millions of years. Theories as to the causes for such changes extend back almost as far as the observations. James Croll (1867) was the first to seriously examine the role 164 CLIMATE CHANGE, CAUSES
متن کاملForests and climate change: forcings, feedbacks, and the climate benefits of forests.
The world's forests influence climate through physical, chemical, and biological processes that affect planetary energetics, the hydrologic cycle, and atmospheric composition. These complex and nonlinear forest-atmosphere interactions can dampen or amplify anthropogenic climate change. Tropical, temperate, and boreal reforestation and afforestation attenuate global warming through carbon seques...
متن کاملEffects of Climate Change on Southeastern Forests
Scientists from Rice University sponsored by the National Wetlands Research Center are using a long-term study of forest structure and change in east Texas to investigate potential effects of climate change on forests of the coastal plain (Fig. 1). Study areas include sites in the Big Thicket of east Texas, which are representative of important vegetation types on the coastal plain, including b...
متن کاملManaging forests for climate change mitigation.
Forests currently absorb billions of tons of CO2 globally every year, an economic subsidy worth hundreds of billions of dollars if an equivalent sink had to be created in other ways. Concerns about the permanency of forest carbon stocks, difficulties in quantifying stock changes, and the threat of environmental and socioeconomic impacts of large-scale reforestation programs have limited the upt...
