The ecological role of climate extremes: current understanding and future prospects

2011-05-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Climate extremes, such as severe drought, heat waves and periods of heavy rainfall, can have profound consequences for ecological systems and for human welfare. Global climate change is expected to increase both the frequency and the intensity of climate extremes and there is an urgent need to understand their ecological consequences. 2. Major challenges for advancing our understanding of the ecological consequ...
