Virtual Issue: Climate change – from problem detection to solution design and implementation

JUNE2012
This is linked with the Special Profile “Conservation in a changing climate” published in 49:3
We are entering a century of unprecedented global changes, with the current rate of biodiversity loss being thought to be at least 1000 times greater than natural extinction rates. An increasingly strong link is being established between human wellbeing and biodiversity, with the weight of scientific evidence suggesting humans depend on many aspects of biodiversity, particularly the structure and functioning of ecosystems and the services that they provide.

Virtual Issue on Forests and Global Change

MARCH 2011
The world’s forests are one of our greatest natural assets, providing innumerable ecological, social and economic services. They are also under more pressure than ever before, and face the consequences of rising human populations, the expansion of economic activities, and climate change. It is therefore vital that we adopt appropriate management practices to help ensure their ecological integrity and long-term sustainability in a changing world. Finding solutions often requires novel applied research, especially as many of the human-environment interactions are fiendishly complex.
