Natural ecosystems are in constant flux, reacting to countless natural, human and physical events. The relationships that ensure that a given ecosystem behaves in the way that it does are so complex that it is often only after an ecosystem has changed or collapsed, that we can begin to understand the reasons why it did so. But climate change is now fundamentally changing many of these relationships, making conservation increasingly difficult.
To find out more about how scientists are studying complex ecosystems' response to climate impacts, I spoke with Alfredo Huete of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in Australia. |
