Global change and terrestrial plant community dynamics.
Anthropogenic drivers of global change include rising atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses and resulting changes in the climate, as well as nitrogen deposition, biotic invasions, altered disturbance regimes, and land-use change. Predicting the effects of global change on terrestrial plant communities is crucial because of the ecosystem services vegetation pro...
متن کاملTerrestrial plant production and climate change.
The likely future increase in atmospheric CO(2) and associated changes in climate will affect global patterns of plant production. Models integrate understanding of the influence of the environment on plant physiological processes and so enable estimates of future changes to be made. Moreover, they allow us to assess the consequences of different assumptions for predictions and so stimulate fur...
متن کاملTerrestrial vegetation dynamics and global climate controls
Monthly data from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) and its predecessor satellite sensors was used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics in response to climate patterns over the period 1983–2005. Results suggest that plant growth over extensive land areas of southern Africa and Central Asia were the most closely coupled of any major land area to El Niño–southern oscillation...
متن کاملDistribution of Terrestrial Ecosystems and Changes in Plant Community Composition
Plant communities have been transformed by global changes such as land-use change and biological invasion in recent decades, will drive further transformation in the coming decades. Plant species can respond to and climate change changing climates by shifting their ranges to new areas in order to track optimal conditions and/or by adapting to these changes . Future climates have the potential ...
متن کاملTerrestrial Carbon Cycle Dynamics under Recent and Future Climate Change
The behavior of the terrestrial carbon cycle under historical and future climate change is examined using the University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model, now coupled to a dynamic terrestrial vegetation and global carbon cycle model. When forced by historical emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels and land-use change, the coupled climate–carbon cycle model accurately reproduces historical atm...
