About the book

"How can we understand and rise to the challenges of global environmental change? One clear answer is to understand the science of global change, not solely in terms of the processes that control changes in climate, the composition of the atmosphere, and biogeochemistry, but also in how ecosystems and human society interact with these processes and changes. This volume encourages a renewed commitment to understanding global change and sets a direction for research in the decade ahead. Through case studies the book explores what can be learned from the lessons of the past 20 years and what are the outstanding scientific questions, and what are the corresponding observational, monitoring and data needs."--BOOK JACKET.
