The text focuses on understanding the impacts of human-induced climate change, but draws on multiple lines of evidence, including paleoecology, modelling and current observation. Climate Change Biology lays out the scope and depth of understanding of this new discipline in terms that are accessible to students, managers and professional biologists. This textbook features: Colorful illustrations and photographs that bring the field to life through visual impact Literature boxes that summarize the most important research in the field Further reading suggestions of in-depth sources for students interested in deeper exploration.
