SummaryTable of Contents
This book focuses on the relationship between climate change and biodiversity. It opens with general perspectives on the main issues, pointing out the need to take an holistic approach and to urge policy makers to take action, even when scientific evidence is not always conclusive. Evidence on climate change and biodiversity loss in an historical context is presented, and the impact of climate change on terrestrial flora and fauna and on aquatic life closely examined.
