9780387579481: Arctic and Alpine Biodiversity: Patterns, Causes and Ecosystem Consequences (Ecological Studies)

Synopsis

This book provides a synthesis of the patterns, causes, and consequences of biodiversity in cold-dominated ecosystems. The first chapters document patterns and causes of genetic and species diversity of plants and animals, emphasizing the interaction between historical and contemporary factors in governing bio-diversity. The second section addresses how biotic diversity has changed in the past, how it is currently changing, and how it will likely respond to future changes in climate and land use. The third section treats both the conceptual basis and the evidence that biodiversity influences the functioning of arctic and alpine ecosystems. Also included are the implications of terrestrial patterns of biodiversity for landscape patterns and for patterns of diversity in aquatic ecosystems.
