The Organization of Living Systems

چکیده
The rationale for this module is simple: the forces of global change have the potential to alter physical and chemical climate conditions, which determine where organisms can live. In order to understand how climate change might affect living systems, we must first discuss some basics about the biota and how it is linked to climate. Once we understand these links, we will be able to recognize many of the aspects of global change that could spell trouble for the Earth’s organisms.
