Insects Overshoot the Expected Upslope Shift Caused by Climate Warming
Along elevational gradients, climate warming may lead to an upslope shift of the lower and upper range margin of organisms. A recent meta-analysis concluded that these shifts are species specific and considerably differ among taxonomic lineages. We used the opportunity to compare upper range margins of five lineages (plants, beetles, flies, hymenoptera, and birds) between 1902-1904 and 2006-200...
متن کاملVegetation synchronously leans upslope as climate warms.
E cologists have long sought to understand how vegetation relates to climate (1, 2). Such knowledge underlies effective mitigation and adaptation to contemporary climate change (3). Warming temperatures associated with anthropogenic increases in greenhouse gases have led ecologists to predict that vegetation gradients will ‘‘march’’ up the hill as climate envelopes shift with elevation, at a la...
متن کاملPOLICY FORUM Uncertainties in Projections of Human-Caused Climate Warming
Mankind's actix~itieshave increased carbon dioxide (CO?) in the atmosphere. This increase has the potential to warm the earth's climate by the "greenhouse effect" ( 1 ) in which COz ahsorbs infrared radiation and then re-radiates it back toward the surface of the planet. Other gases also act as greenhouse gases and may warm the climate ex7en further (Z),although human-produced airborne sulfate ...
متن کاملClimate warming could shift the timing of seed germination in alpine plants.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite the considerable number of studies on the impacts of climate change on alpine plants, there have been few attempts to investigate its effect on regeneration. Recruitment from seeds is a key event in the life-history of plants, affecting their spread and evolution and seasonal changes in climate will inevitably affect recruitment success. Here, an investigation was ma...
متن کاملResponse of the Arabian Sea to global warming and associated regional climate shift.
The response of the Arabian Sea to global warming is the disruption in the natural decadal cycle in the sea surface temperature (SST) after 1995, followed by a secular warming. The Arabian Sea is experiencing a regional climate-shift after 1995, which is accompanied by a five fold increase in the occurrence of "most intense cyclones". Signatures of this climate-shift are also perceptible over t...
