Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents recent estimates on the rate of change of major land classes. Aggregated globally, multiple impacts of local land changes are shown to significantly affect central aspects of Earth System functioning. The book offers innovative developments and applications in the fields of modeling and scenario construction. Conclusions are also drawn about the most pressing implications for the design of appropriate intervention policies.

Download or read book Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region written by Thomas Dietz and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People living in the Great Lakes region are already feeling the effects of a changing climate. Shifts in seasonal temperatures and precipitation patterns could have dramatic impacts on the economy, ecology, and quality of life. In this illuminating and thorough volume, leading scholars address the challenge of preparing for climate change in the region, where decision makers from various sectors—government, agriculture, recreation, and tourism—must increasingly be aware of the need to incorporate climate change into their short- and long-term planning. The chapters in this revealing book, written by some of the foremost climate change scholars in North America, outline the major trends in the climate of the Great Lakes region, how humans might cope with the uncertainty of climate change impacts, and examples of on-the-ground projects that have addressed these issues.

Book excerpt: Anthropogenically driven environmental changes have led to far-reaching ecological changes across the globe. Development and land-use change have caused increased habitat loss and fragmentation and altered ecosystem processes, thereby threatening biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services. Further, disturbance regimes are shifting away from those that led to the development of contemporary plant assemblages. Over the past two centuries in the Great Lakes Region, plant communities have experienced unprecedented rates of change reflecting logging, land use change, fire suppression, overabundant ungulates, and climate change. My goal was to develop a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of forest change in the Great Lakes Region by focusing successively on the past, present, and future. I first evaluated shifts in forest composition across nine national parks between presettlement (1850s-1880s) and modern times (2008-2014). I next explored how plant functional traits moderate species responses to deer herbivory, soils, and light availability. Finally, I modeled species ranges to predict whether or not projected future climate conditions will be suitable for 30 common understory plants in the parks. Forests in Great Lakes national parks have shifted substantially since the 1800s. Preferred timber species like Pinus strobus and Tsuga canadensis and fire-adapted species like Quercus macrocarpa and Pinus banksiana have declined while aspen (Populus spp.) and maple (Acer spp.) have increased. These changes are associated with ongoing recovery from the Great Cutover, fire suppression, mesophication, and ungulate herbivory. Understory plant community composition shifted considerably following 10-15 years of deer exclusion, and these changes are determined, in part, by functional traits. Species responses to soil conditions and light availability also depend on plant functional traits, namely their mode of pollination, leaf dry matter content, and their habitat specificity. Future climates in the Great Lakes national parks are unlikely to support the currently dominant understory species. If these plants cannot adapt to climate change in place, plant communities in these national parks will continue to change in species composition as they respond to shifting climates. These regional shifts reflect challenges that plant communities around the world face as they respond to shifts in land-use, herbivory, and climate change.
