Book Description
Climate change has been the subject of thousands of books and magazines, scientific journals, and newspaper articles daily. It’s a subject that can be very political and emotional, often blurring the lines between fact and fiction. The vast majority of research, studies, projections and recommendations tend to focus on the human influence on climate change and global warming as the result of CO2 emissions, often to the exclusion of other threats that include population growth and the stress placed on energy sources due to emerging global affluence. Climate Vulnerability, Five Volume Set seeks to strip away the politics and emotion that surround climate change and will assess the broad range of threats using the bottom up approach—including CO2 emissions, population growth, emerging affluence, and many others—to our five most critical resources: water, food, ecosystems, energy, and human health. Inclusively determining what these threats are while seeking preventive measures and adaptations is at the heart of this unique reference work. Takes a Bottom-Up approach, addressing climate change and the threat to our key resources at the local level first and globally second, providing a more accurate and inclusive approach. Includes extensive cross-referencing, which is key to readers as new connections between factors can be discovered. Cuts across a number of disciplines and will appeal to Biological Science, Earth & Environmental Science, Ecology, and Social Science, comprehensively addressing climate change and other threats to our key resources from multiple perspectives
Managing Water Resources in the West Under Conditions of Climate Uncertainty
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309046777
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The question of whether the earth's climate is changing in some significant human-induced way remains a matter of much debate. But the fact that climate is variable over time is well known. These two elements of climatic uncertainty affect water resources planning and management in the American West. Managing Water Resources in the West Under Conditions of Climate Uncertainty examines the scientific basis for predictions of climate change, the implications of climate uncertainty for water resources management, and the management options available for responding to climate variability and potential climate change.
Carbon-Water-Nitrogen Processes and Mechanisms of Agricultural and Forest Ecosystems under Future Climate Change
Author: Yunpu ZhengPublisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2832549411
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
It is well known that agricultural and forest ecosystems are the most important carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems, and therefore understanding the key processes and potential mechanisms of agricultural and forest ecosystems in response to climate change is critical for accurately estimating the carbon sinks in agriculture and forests. However, the response and adaptation of carbon-water-nitrogen processes in agricultural and forest ecosystems to climate change remain unclear. These knowledge gaps create significant uncertainties in future projections, and fully exploring the potential mechanisms and processes of agriculture and forests to climate change is pivotal to projecting the potential risk of climate change on global grain yield and forest carbon sequestrations.
Carbon Dioxide and Environmental Stress
Author: Luo YiqiPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080500714
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
This book focuses on the interactive effects of environmental stresses with plant and ecosystem functions, especially with respect to changes in the abundance of carbon dioxide. The interaction of stresses with elevated carbon dioxide are presented from the cellular through whole plant ecosystem level. The book carefully considers not only the responses of the above-ground portion of the plant, but also emphasizes the critical role of below-ground (rhizosphere) components (e.g., roots, microbes, soil) in determining the nature and magnitude of these interactions.* Will rising CO2 alter the importance of environmental stress in natural and agricultural ecosystems?* Will environmental stress on plants reduce their capacity to remove CO2 from the atmosphere?* Are some stresses more important than others as we concern ourselves with global change?* Can we develop predictive models useful for scientists and policy-makers?* Where should future research efforts be focused?
