The Future of Biodiversity in a Changing World
2001The expansion of human populations and their increasing consumption rate and access to technology have led to two general environmental concerns (NRC 1994); (Vitousek et al. 1997): (1) the increasing human impact on the earth’s environment and ecosystems through changes in the carbon pools of the biosphere, element cycling, and climate, and (2) changes

Urban Biodiversity and Climate Change
2014Urban biodiversity refers to the variety and variability among living organisms found in a city and the ecological systems in which they occur. Overall, urban biodiversity responds to a combination of biogeographic and anthropogenic factors, with a strong influence of the latter. In a rapidly urbanizing world under the pressing threat of climate change,

Biodiversity and Global Climate Change
1992The currently increasing levels of the so-called ‘greenhouse’ gasses (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons), in the atmosphere could have large impacts on global biochemical cycles and the climate system. This increase results primarily from human industrial and agricultural activities.

Biodiversity and Climate Change
International Community Law Review, 2021Abstract This article analyses the question of a relationship between biodiversity and climate change. The legal framework for the protection of biodiversity from climate change is contained in the climate change system of treaties, i.e. the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; the 1997 Kyoto Protocol; the 2015 Paris Agreement ...

Atmospheric Change and Biodiversity
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1998Strategies to conserve biodiversity need to include the monitoring, modelling, adaptation and regulation of the composition of the atmosphere. Atmospheric issues include climate variability and extremes; climate change; stratospheric ozone depletion; acid deposition; photochemical pollution; suspended particulate matter; and hazardous air pollutants ...

Patterns of biodiversity change
Science, 2016Conservation Invasive species and climate change are altering the composition of ecosystems worldwide. In a Perspective, Magurran considers the effects of these changes, which come in addition to natural changes in ecosystem composition. For example, species turnover in rivers in Trinidad and Tobago has doubled compared to that seen in historical data,

Biodiversity Changes and Adaptation
2006Models are used to estimate potential physical and biological impacts, efficient adaptations, and residual damages from climate change. The contributors cover a broad array of climate change impacts on affected market sectors (including water supply, agriculture, coastal resources, timber, and energy demand) as well as ecosystems and biodiversity.
