书籍简介:

耦合气候-生态-社会的复杂性使得了解它们之间相互作用的性质是一个重大挑战,因而也难于发展应对全球变化的对策。在东亚干旱与半干旱区(DEA),人口超过十亿人,充分了解旱地生态系统如何应对气候变化和人类活动是关键需求之一。本书全面、系统地总结了在东亚干旱和半干旱区的生态系统研究成果,有助于理解气候-生态系统-社会之间的复杂关系,帮助人们应对气候变化带来的影响,为研究其他区域的生态系统对气候变化的响应提供了范例。

内容摘要:

Drylands in East Asia (DEA) is home to more than one billion people with an environment vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic changes. One of the critical needs in the region is to fully understand how dryland ecosystems respond to the changing climate and human activities in order to develop strategies to cope with continued climate change. This book provides the state-of-the-art knowledge and information on drylands ecosystem dynamics, changing climate, society, and land use in the region. In addition to the synthesis of the existing research and knowledge of DEA, the book provides a role model for regional ecological assessment. With a wide spectrum of contributions from experts around the globe, the book should be of interest to researchers and students both internationally and in East Asia. Lessons learned from this synthesis effort in DEA should be useful for developing climate adaptation strategies for other similar regions around the globe.
