Ecological Versus Climatic Thresholds, Science
 









Excerpts: How will the terrestrial vegetation respond to future climate change?
(...) show that ecological or vegetation responses to climatic changes may be
delayed if an ecological threshold has to be crossed. In another study, Tzedakis
et al. show that once such a threshold is crossed, the vegetation may not
necessarily recover with a return to the original climatic conditions. Thus,
both the time scale and the reversibility of future ecological changes as a
result of global warming remain unclear.
