ECOSYSTENS

A warming of even 2°C over the next 100 years would shift current climate zones in temperate regions of the world about 300 km towards higher latitudes, and vertically by 300 m. The composition and geographical distribution of unmanaged ecosystems will change as individual species respond to new conditions. At the same time, habitats will be degraded and fragmented by the combination of climate change, and other environmental pressures

During the, the global climate has warmed by about 0.6°C, or about 0.06°C per decade. which simulate the effects on climate of increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas project that global average surface will rise by a further 3°C by the end of the, or 0.3°C per decade. It is currently believed that most ecosystems can withstand at most a 0.1°C global temperature change per decade, before experiencing severe ecological stresses, leading in some cases to species extinction.
