Brief Remarks on Some Especially Important Considerations -- References -- Index -- BackmatterRising temperatures are affecting organisms in all of Earth's biomes, but the complexity of ecological responses to climate change has hampered the development of a conceptually unified treatment of them. In a remarkably comprehensive synthesis, this book presents past, ongoing, and future ecological responses to climate change in the context of two simplifying hypotheses, facilitation and interference, arguing that biotic interactions may be the primary driver of ecological responses to climate change across all levels of biological organization. Eric Post's synthesis and analyses of ecological consequences of climate change extend from the Late Pleistocene to the present, and through the next century of projected warming. His investigation is grounded in classic themes of enduring interest in ecology, but developed around novel conceptual and mathematical models of observed and predicted dynamics. Using stability theory as a recurring theme, Post argues that the magnitude of climatic variability may be just as important as the magnitude and direction of change in determining whether populations, communities, and species persist. He urges a more refined consideration of species interactions, emphasizing important distinctions between lateral and vertical interactions and their disparate roles in shaping responses of populations, communities, and ecosystems to climate change.BioclimatologyClimatic changesEnvironmental aspectsIndustrial Revolution.Late Pleistocene.PleistoceneЈolocene transition.abiotic changes.abiotic compartments.abiotic conditions.amphibian breeding.biodiversity.biome shifts.biotic compartments.biotic interaction.character displacement.climate change ecology.climate change.climatic fluctuation.climatic variability.coexistence.community composition.community dynamics.community stability.competitive interactions.density-dependent processes.density-independent processes.diminishing land ice.diminishing sea ice.ecological dynamics.ecological theory.ecology.ecosystem carbon dynamics.ecosystem components.ecosystem dynamics.ecosystem function.ecosystem respiration.ecosystem stability.ecosystems.egg laying.emigration.environmental disturbance.environmental variability.environmental variation.extinction.facilitation.flowering.habitat utilization patterns.immigration.interference.life history.mass extinctions.migration.net ecosystem production.net primary productivity.niche concept.niche overlap.niche packing.niche theory.phenological dynamics.phenological events.phenology.plant emergence.population dynamics.population stability.quantitative ecology.rapid climate change.rapid warming.rising temperature.speciation.species assemblages.species distributions.species diversity.species losses.stability theory.stochastic environments.temperature variability.Bioclimatology.Climatic changesEnvironmental aspects.577.2/2RB 10438rvkPost Eric S(Eric Stephen)1490126MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779766803321Ecology of climate change3711280UNINA
