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.
Founded in 2013 [1] as part of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP), [2] it was established to answer questions about the future of marine biodiversity, seafood supply, fisheries, and marine ecosystem functioning in the context of various climate change scenarios.
The effects of climate change are predicted to be more severe in mountains of northern latitude. [11] Heat and drought as a result of climate change has been found to severely impact tree mortality rates, putting forest ecosystems at high risk. [12]
Problems of global warming, climate change, and their various negative impacts on human life and on the functioning of entire societies are one of the most dramatic challenges of modern times. PAS General Assembly calls on the national scientific communities and the national government to actively support Polish participation in this important ...
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.
Global heating, although it is catastrophic, is merely one aspect of a profound polycrisis that includes environmental degradation, rising economic inequality, and biodiversity loss. Climate change is a glaring symptom of a deeper systemic issue: ecological overshoot, where human consumption outpaces the Earth's ability to regenerate.
Boreal forests, also known as taiga, are warming at a faster rate than the global average, [14] leading to drier conditions in the Taiga, which leads to a whole host of subsequent impacts. [15] Climate change has a direct impact on the productivity of the boreal forest, as well as its health and regeneration. [15]
