"Grasslands and Climate Change Grasslands are the most extensive terrestrial biome
on Earth and are critically important for forage, biodiversity, and ecosystem services.
This book brings together an international team of researchers to review scientific
knowledge of the effects of climate change on world grasslands, a process we are only
just starting to understand. Part One assesses how climate change will impact on the
distribution of grasslands, as well as production, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem
services. Part Two considers the consequences for the spread of invasive species,
demographic change, trophic- level relationships, soil biota, and evolutionary change
within grassland biodiversity. Part Three proposes how ecologists can respond to climate
change effects, focusing on grazing systems, cultural ecology, range management, and
restoration. The concluding chapter sets grasslands in the context of the Anthropocene
era and identifies the vital research and conservation needs for grassland ecosystems
to remain environmentally sustainable under climate change"
