Monitoring the impact of climate change on biodiversity: The challenge of megadiverse Mediterranean climate ecosystems

2010-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The Mediterranean climate regions of Western Australia and South Africa are recognized as global hot spots of diversity. Both are threatened by climate changes that are projected to have significant impacts on the quantity and variability of rainfall and affect key ecosystem drivers (e.g. fire regimes). This poses significant challenges to monitoring programs designed to detect these impacts. Effective monitoring...
