A major goal of the book is to provide material that will not become quickly outdated, and it does so by conveying its topics through constants in ecological science that will remain unchanged and scientifically sound. The book is timely in its potential to be a long-term contribution, and is designed to inform the public about climate change in mountains accessibly and intelligibly. The major themes of the book include: 1) mountains of the American West as natural experiments that can distinguish the effects of climate change because they have been relatively free from human-caused changes, 2) mountains as regions with unique sensitivities that may change more rapidly than the Earth as a whole and foreshadow the nature and magnitude of change elsewhere, and 3) different interacting components of ecosystems in the face of a changing climate, including forest growth and mortality, ecological disturbance, and mountain hydrology. Readers will learn how these changes and interactions in mountains illuminate the complexity of ecological changes in other contexts around the world. 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEcology  606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aTerrestial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19139 606 $aCanvi climàtic$2thub 606 $aMuntanyes$2thub 606 $aEcologia de les muntanyes$2thub 607 $aEstats Units d'Amèrica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aEcology . 615 14$aEcosystems. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aTerrestial Ecology. 615 7$aCanvi climàtic 615 7$aMuntanyes 615 7$aEcologia de les muntanyes 676 $a551.69143 700 $aMcKenzie$b Donald$c(Ecologist).$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01076182 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409682903321 996 $aMountains in the Greenhouse$92586407 997 $aUNINA
