Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Zoology
Abstract
The impact of climate change on biodiversity has become a burgeoning subject of study. Predictions are useful for alerting scientists and decision-makers to potential future hazards, as well as for bolstering the attribution of biological changes to climate change and for assisting in the creation of proactive initiatives to mitigate climate change's effects on biodiversity.
