ISBN: 9789400779594 出版年：2014 页码：412 Rannow, Sven Springer

Beginning with an overview of data and concepts developed in the eu-project habit-change, this book addresses the need for sharing knowledge and experience in the field of biodiversity conservation and climate change. there is an urgent need to build capacity in protected areas to monitor, assess, manage and report the effects of climate change and their interaction with other pressures. the contributors identify barriers to the adaptation of conservation management, such as the mismatch between planning reality and the decision context at site level. short and vivid descriptions of case studies, drawn from investigation areas all over central and eastern europe, illustrate both the local impacts of climate change and their consequences for future management. these focus on ecosystems most vulnerable to changes in climatic conditions, including alpine areas, wetlands, forests, lowland grasslands and coastal areas.
