Workshop Report: Ecological Impacts of Climate Change

If ecologists are to be successful in distinguishing competing and interacting causes of large-scale ecological changes and associated feedbacks to the atmosphere and hydrosphere, they will need to match the spatial and temporal scales of analysis employed routinely by climatologists. This report identifies and discusses 10 fundamental questions for evaluating ecological implications of climate change at regional-to-continental scales and makes recommendations for the necessary infrastructure to address those questions.
