Climate Change Ecology

Introduction

Climate change has turn out to be one of the most severe challenges of mankind in this decade. The possible effects of climate change are the increase in the number and scale of natural as well as human made disasters, the spread of famine and pestilence and a significant number of environmental refugees. Climate change significantly affects biological diversity, causing phenomena extinction of species or communities and profound changes in the structure and functions of ecosystems. Though, the climatic aspects constitute the most visible component of global environmental changes. These also operate through more complex mechanisms that trigger reactions and deep, more or less known, on ecosystems on the planet. The increase of knowledge in the field of global change has led to conceive the physical system terrestrial as intimately linked to biogeochemical cycles and processes of the biosphere.

The studies and researches indicate that the greenhouse gas emissions continue higher levels than the current ones which results in the strength and resilience of many ecosystems will be strongly weakened by an unprecedented combination of change in climate. In addition, the effects of climate change on biodiversity must be considered, the addition of the negative effects (which then aggravate the state of health and vitality of natural systems increasing their vulnerability) due to other phenomena of global change produced by our intervention, such as habitat fragmentation, the spread of alien species, the modification of the uses of soil, pollution and over-exploitation of resources. The studies from several continents and in most oceans shows that many natural systems are already affected by regional climate changes, particularly temperature increases.

Historically, in fact, were the geographers and naturalists to study first the climate, terms of statistical correlations forecasts, as the fundamental cause of diversification of local environments and territorial observed and as the definition and classification and geographical nature. Climatologists announced that climate change due to the greenhouse effect and the alteration of oceans could change the future of our planet. Paradoxically, global warming cause sudden drops in some regions of temperatures. For our planet is not the first time you occurs a phenomenon of this type. It, in fact, is cyclically subject to this type of abrupt changes. However, it is new for us human beings of the twenty-first century, passing on this planet, and helpless viewers of this potential turning point.

Background

Climate change shifts the position of the point attractor relative equilibrium towards the disintegration of the Civil Code, which is not compensated by the inverse synthesis and leads to the degradation of resources. In view of the fact that global warming is no international convention does not stop, then we must be prepared to take adequate measures for the conservation and enhancement of the capacity of soil fertility, and here our technology industrial large-scale production of artificial humus currently have no alternative to the task.

In the natural resources of mankind has always had reckon with their limited resources. On the other hand, the story convincingly shows that for ...
