A major goal of the book is to provide material that will not become quickly outdated, and it does so by conveying its topics through constants in ecological science that will remain unchanged and scientifically sound. The book is timely in its potential to be a long-term contribution, and is designed to inform the public about climate change in mountains accessibly and intelligibly..The major themes of the book include: 1) mountains of the American West as natural experiments that can distinguish the effects of climate change because they have been relatively free from human-caused changes, 2) mountains as regions with unique sensitivities that may change more rapidly than the Earth as a whole and foreshadow the nature and magnitude of change elsewhere, and 3) different interacting components of ecosystems in the face of a changing climate, including forest growth and mortality, ecological disturbance, and mountain hydrology. Readers will learn how these changes and interactions in mountains illuminate | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | American mountains; US geography; The North American cordillera; Climate change; Mountain hydrology; Glob | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-42432-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-42431-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-42432-9 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
