Chapter 58.3, Problem 1R

Summary Introduction

To review:

The design that represents the realistic and the best possible protected area that could be used for the terrestrial biodiversity conservation in the present as well as in future provided that species’ distribution is affected by the global warming.

Introduction:

The global warming is the phenomenon in which the overall increased levels of carbon dioxide results in the increase of temperature of the earth’s surface. The carbon dioxide traps the incoming radiation, which increases the temperature of the land and the water surfaces of the earth. This mechanism of heating is called the greenhouse effect. Change in the climatic conditions affects the distribution of species.
