Climate Change and Southern California Ecosystems

Climate change will disturb ecosystems found here and in rest of California, posing a challenge for managers and policy makers. On April 30, Elsa Cleland will describe what we know about the coming changes how plant communities are likely to respond, and what we still need to find out in order to protect important natural habitats.

More and more people more than likely means less and less natural habitat.

Native habitat proponents talk the talk, but....population matters.

What are we going to do about human population? 3billion in 1960, 7billion by 2012.

Also, we talk about conserving water in landscapes as one of the perspectives, besides regional adaptation.

More and more people means more water gets used. So, we are implored to use less water in the landscape so we can make the water available to more people.
