Paperback. This book offers insights on the effects of rapid climate change at the poles, one of which is that ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to be vulnerable as the climate warms. The editors recognize the outstanding contribution of Marine Biology. Editor(s): Prisco, Guido di; Verde, Cinzia. Series: From Pole to Pole. Num Pages: 248 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1QMP; PSAF; PSPM; RGM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 385.
The poles undergo climate changes exceeding those in the rest of the world in terms of their speed and extent, and have a key role in modulating the climate of the Earth. Ecosystems adapted to polar environments are likely to become vulnerable to climate changes. Their responses allow us to analyse and foresee the impact of changes at lower latitudes. We need to increase our knowledge of the polar marine fauna of continental shelves, slopes and deep sea, as identifying the responses of species and communities is crucial to establishing efficient strategies against threats to biodiversity, using international and cross-disciplinary ...
