Climate change and biodiversity conservation: knowledge needed to support development of integrated adaptation strategies: report of an e-conference, September 2005

Abstract

The impacts of climate change on biodiversity and the degree to which autonomous and directed adaptation will lesson these impacts are likely to be complex and hard to predict. This will make the research information we gain particularly difficult to communicate to the people who will be required to act on this information, namely ecosystem managers, resource managers, the public and policy makers
