|a Terrestrial ecosystems have encountered substantial warming over the past century, with
temperatures increasing about twice as rapidly over land as over the oceans. Here, we review the
likelihood of continued changes in terrestrial climate, including analyses of the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project global climate model ensemble. Inertia toward continued emissions
creates potential 21st-century global warming that is comparable in magnitude to that of the
largest global changes in the past 65 million years but is orders of magnitude more rapid.
The rate of warming implies a velocity of climate change and required range shifts of up to
several kilometers per year, raising the prospect of daunting challenges for ecosystems,
especially in the context of extensive land use and degradation, changes in frequency and severity
of extreme events, and interactions with other stresses. |
