9780520286719 English 0520286715 A Major Consequence of climate change can be abrupt, dramatic shifts in regional biodiversity. With the fate of many wild species dependem upon informed conservation planning, management, and policy, it's critical that decision makers and managers have access to the latest in climate change research, which is often challenging given the "science management divide." Biodiversity in a Changing Climate bridges that chasm by providing a framework for establishing dialogue between scientists and managers. The book includes case studies and best practices used to address climate-related impacts across a spectrum of species and habitats-from coastal krill to Sierra meadows-and includes valuable insights on how the past can help predict the future. Biodiversity in a Changing Climate will prove an indispensable guide to resource mangers, graduate students, and scientists working in manage biodiversity. Though focused on California cases, the insights presented will by relevant to stakeholders from other regions who are engaged in conservation and resource management in a rapidly changing world. Book jacket., A major consequence of climate change can be abrupt, dramatic changes in regional biodiversity. Even under the most optimistic scenarios for mitigating climate change, the fate of many wild species rests on the shoulders of those engaged in conservation planning, management, and policy. Thus, it's critical that resource managers have access to the latest developments in climate change research in a way that's useful to them, but is often challenging given the "science-management divide." "Biodiversity in a Changing Climate" addresses this chasm by establishing a framework to promote dialog among scientists, decision makers and managers who are grappling with the increasing threats to species and ecosystems in a rapidly changing climate. The book includes case studies and best practices used to address impacts related to climate change across a broad spectrum of species and habitats--from coastal krill and sea urchins to prairie grass and mountain bumblebees. While focused on California, the issues and strategies presented throughout the book will translate to regions across the West and farther, and is meant to be a framework for how scientists and managers in any region can bridge the communication divide in the interest of managing biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. "Biodiversity and a Changing Climate" will prove an indispensable guide to students, scientists, and professionals engaged in conservation and resource management., One major consequence of climate change is abrupt, dramatic changes in regional biodiversity. Even if the most optimistic scenarios for mitigating climate change transpire, the fate of many wild species rests on the shoulders of people engaged in conservation planning, management, and policy. Providing managers with the latest and most useful climate change research is critical and requires challenging the conventional divide between scientists and managers. Biodiversity in a Changing Climate promotes dialogue among scientists, decision makers, and managers who are grappling with climate-related threats to species and ecosystems in diverse forms. The book includes case studies and best practices used to address impacts related to climate change across a broad spectrum of species and habitats--from coastal krill and sea urchins to prairie grass and mountain bumblebees.
