Ecosystems and Climate Change

-10% Ecosystems and Climate Change
Global climate change is a reality and it influences many complex and interrelated physical and biological systems. Recent climate change has already begun to affect species’ geographic ranges. The interaction between global climate change and regional deforestation may make tropical forests vulnerable to large-scale degradation. The most recent report from International Union of Forest Research Organization suggests that in a warmer world, the current carbon regulating services of forests (as carbon sinks) may be entirely lost, as land ecosystems could turn into a net source of carbon dioxide later in the century. With the above environmental concerns in mind, this book has tried to address some of the issues for an all outdebate ecosystem related policies and problems. This volume incorporates eight chapters on climate change related problems like Carbon flux and Green India Mission, Forest Health in changing climate regime, Effect of climate change on faunal diversity, A case study on stress and strain on wild life habitat in Chhotonagpur Plateau, Using geoinformatics in evaluating the effect of climate change on coastal ecosystem, Carbon sequestration potential of planted species on mined land, Biodiversity conservation and productivity enhancement to mitigate climate change. These well informative chapters have also tried to deal with adaptive measures needed to be taken to combat the disastrous effect of climate change in ecosystems. This volume will definitely serve not only as an excellent material but also as a guide for teachers, research scholars, students in the field of environmental sciences.
