Global Change Biology is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the interface between biological systems and all aspects of environmental change that affect a substantial part of the globe [1] including climate change, global warming, land use change, invasive species, urbanization, wildfire, and greenhouse gases.
GCB Bioenergy: Bioproducts for a Sustainable Bioeconomy is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the interface between biological systems and the production of bioenergy, biofuels and bioproducts directly from plants, algae and waste.
Walter C. Oechel (born January 15, 1945) is a researcher who studies the areas of plant eco-physiology, systems ecology, global change, and biosphere-atmosphere interaction. [1] At San Diego State University he is as a Distinguished Professor of Biology, [2] as well as at the Open University, UK. [3]
Global change in a societal context encompasses social, cultural, technological, political, economic and legal change. Terms closely related to global change and society are globalization and global integration. Globalization began with long-distance trade and urbanism. The first record of long distance trading routes is in the third millennium BC.
Karthik Ram is a research scientist at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science [1] and member of the Initiative for Global Change Biology [2] at the University of California, Berkeley. He is best known for being the co-founder of rOpenSci. [1] Ram's work focuses on global change, data science, and open research software.
Climate change and the associated changing weather patterns occurring worldwide have a direct effect on biology, population ecology, and the population of eruptive insects, such as the mountain pine beetle. This is because temperature is a factor which determines insect development and population success. [90]
The land use change and sea use change was considered the most important stressor, followed by direct exploitation of organisms (i.e. overfishing). Climate change ranked third, followed by pollution and invasive species. The report concluded that global warming of 2 °C (3.6 °F) over the preindustrial levels would threaten an estimated 5% of ...
Climate change is altering the geographic range and seasonality of some insects that can carry diseases, for example Aedes aegypti, the mosquito that is the vector for dengue transmission. Global climate change has increased the occurrence of some infectious diseases. Infectious diseases whose transmission is impacted by climate change include, for example, vector-borne diseases like dengue ...
