In 1997, the National Wildlife Federation provided fellowships to eight graduate students to conduct research on global climate change. This volume presents the results of their work. The eight case studies provide information about how biotic systems respond to climate change. They also examine the complex problems likely to arise from changes in climate and demonstrate the types of scientific questions that need to be explored in order to improve our understanding of how these changes and other human impacts affect wildlife and ecosystems.
