The effects of climate change on ecological processes and biodiversity is globally recognized. The main causes of this change are the anthropogenic gas emissions. If the current level of emission continues, several studies predict an increase of global temperatures from 3.7 to 4.8°C by 2100. Global mean temperature rose about 0.8 °C between 1880-2012, resulting […]
