Global climate change is recognized as a threat to species survival and the health of natural systems. Scientists worldwide are looking at the ecological a
Other causes of uncertainty are extreme weather events like theheat waves regularly seen in southern Canadaand increasinglyfrequent summer storms. Such extreme weather can exacerbate pond drying through increased evaporation. The impacts of climate change on these eco...
Wetlands provide essential ecosystem services, economic services, and in the face of climate change serve as buffers against extreme weather. Despite the importance of wetlands there has been little increased protection for these environments. The only way to protect wetlands is to draw national ...
Climate Change: Wetlands are sensitive to the impacts of climate change, including increased air temperatures, shifts in precipitation patterns, more frequent extreme weather events (such as storms, droughts, and floods), elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and rising sea levels. These changes...
timescales, this interannual variability and gradual alterations in climate conditions contribute to long-term changes in water table. On the other hand, changes in rainfall patterns may increase the risk of extreme weather events, causing dramatic fluctuations in water table in the short term101,102...
Barriers to climate change adaptation include the lack of weather forecasts, coping skills as well as declining market access and the erosion of traditional knowledge. The majority of respondents expressed a favourable view of civil society actors, considering them instrumental in facilitating climate ...

To monitor birds, Zhou would ride a bike to Baiyangdian almost every day before dawn, whatever the weather. He would record the birds appearing at the lake, along with their locations, where they fed and when they migrated, thus providing reference data for staff members of the natural resour...

Two experiments were run under Mediterranean-climate conditions of the Western Cape of South Africa: (1) a closed, oligotrophic mesocosm experiment representing local conditions and (2) a real-life...
