Climate Change and Ecosystems: Impacts and Feedbacks

Dear Colleagues,

The Earth’s surface is characterised with myriads of ecosystems such as forest, grasslands, and wetlands, and these ecosystems have their unique characteristics and functionalities. Their distinctive underlying processes and mechanisms make them respond differently under changing climate conditions. Almost all of these ecosystem types have been adapting and adjusting to the progressively warmer world. We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, review articles and editorials to our Special Issues in Atmosphere. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the responses of different terrestrial ecosystem types to climate change using experimental or modelling experiments. We invite manuscripts focusing on the effects of recent past and near future changes in climate. We also wish to include studies that examine the effects of ecosystem-climate feedbacks. This may include effects of both biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects on regional as well as global climates.
