Future projections indicate that additional change is expected in the coming decades, forcing individuals and communities to respond and adapt. Frequently, agriculture and ecosystems are seen as separate entities, resulting in entity-specific solutions in response to threats. Anthropogenic climate change simultaneously stresses both agriculture and ecosystems (AE) along with their interactions, and current research efforts examining climate change effects and possible adaptations fail to integrate agriculture and ecosystems. Research has quantified many AE impacts of climate change, and yet greater impacts are anticipated as climate change proceeds. Thus, an understanding of the implications for changing AE systems is crucial. AE function, health and productivity depend heavily on climatic characteristics. Failure to jointly consider these systems and the associated externalities may underestimate the impacts of climate change or cause adaptation implementation surprises such as the worsening of the adaptation status of some groups or ecosystems. This collection of papers draws on specific studies to explain why ecosystem and agriculture adaptation requires an integrated analytical approach. A synthesis of current literature is used, as well as examples from around the world to help explain concepts and current challenges. Researchers are encouraged to adopt integrated modeling as a means of avoiding implementation challenges and surprises when formulating and implementing adaptations. Failure to incorporate the overlapping effects of agriculture and ecosystems could lead to maladaptation and greater long-term damage under climate change. The papers in this volume address several aspects of these challenges. 517 $aClimate Change in Complex Systems 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology, engineering, agriculture$2bicssc 610 $aagriculture 610 $acarbon dioxide 610 $aenvironmental Kuznets curves 610 $aSouth Africa 610 $asustainable development goals 610 $aclimate change 610 $aforest pests 610 $aeconomic impacts 610 $aKorean oak wilt 610 $arepresentative concentration pathways 610 $adrought frequency 610 $awater use 610 $aland conversion 610 $alivestock production 610 $aecological implications 610 $aadaptation failure 610 $aadaptation planning 610 $aeconomic interests 610 $aecosystem spillovers 610 $apolicy 610 $arisk perception 610 $atransformation 610 $aadaptation 610 $acoastal community 610 $alocal government 610 $aresponses 610 $aecosystems 610 $aexternalities 610 $avulnerability 610 $acontagion 610 $aland degradation 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aTechnology, engineering, agriculture 700 $aMcCarl$b Bruce A$4edt$01313307 702 $aThayer$b Anastasia W$4edt 702 $aLacher$b Thomas$4edt 702 $aVargas$b Aurora$4edt 702 $aMcCarl$b Bruce A$4oth 702 $aThayer$b Anastasia W$4oth 702 $aLacher$b Thomas$4oth 702 $aVargas$b Aurora$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557105003321 996 $aClimate Change in Complex Systems$93031263 997 $aUNINA
