A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of California's ecological patterns and the history of the state's various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the state's ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of California's environment and curious naturalists. 606 $aEcology$zCalifornia 606 $aEcosystem management$zCalifornia 610 $abiology. 610 $acalifornia climate. 610 $acalifornia conservation. 610 $acalifornia ecosystem management. 610 $acalifornia naturalists. 610 $acalifornia oceans. 610 $acalifornia population and land use. 610 $acalifornia restoration. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $aconservation. 610 $aecological patterns. 610 $aecology and environment. 610 $aecology. 610 $aecosystem ecologists. 610 $aecosystem management. 610 $aecosystem. 610 $aecosystems of california. 610 $aecosystems. 610 $aenvironment ecology. 610 $afire in california. 610 $aindigenous california. 610 $alife sciences. 610 $anatural sciences. 610 $anaturalists. 610 $anature. 610 $ascientists. 615 0$aEcology 615 0$aEcosystem management 676 $a577.09794 702 $aMooney$b Harold A. 702 $aZavaleta$b Erika$f1972- 702 $aChapin$b Melissa 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823928703321 996 $aEcosystems of California$94080408 997 $aUNINA
