CHAPIN III, JESSICA GUREVITCH, JOHN HARTE, GREG HENRY, PHIL INESON, SVEN JONASSON, JERRY MELILLO, LOUIS PITELKA, AND LINDSEY RUSTAD missions of greenhouse gases are expected to Eraise global mean temperature over the next century ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES TO GLOBAL by 1.0–3.5 °C (Houghton et al. 1995, 1996). Ecologists WARMING WILL BE COMPLEX AND VARIED. from around the world have begun experiments to investigate the effects of global warming on terrestrial ECOSYSTEM WARMING EXPERIMENTS ecosystems, the aspect of global climate change that attracts the most public attention (Woodwell and HOLD GREAT POTENTIAL FOR PROVIDING McKenzie 1995, Walker and Steffen 1999). The effort to understand response to warming builds on a history of INSIGHTS ON WAYS TERRESTRIAL investigations of the effects of elevated CO on plants and ECOSYSTEMS WILL RESPOND TO ecosystems (Koch and Mooney 1996, Schulze et al. 1999). There are important differences, however, between UPCOMING DECADES OF CLIMATE increases in atmospheric CO and temperature change, both in the temporal and spatial patterns of change and in CHANGE.DOCUMENTATION OF INITIAL how they affect ecosystems.
