No-Analogue Ecology

No-Analogue Ecology



The formation of no?analog communities, past or future, should therefore result from the development of climates also lacking any modern counterpart ( Williams et al. 2001; Jackson and Williams 2004 ). In this conceptualization, species’ niches are static, but the environment is not.

An even more extreme case of no-analogue climate is the Palaeogene ‘greenhouse’ climate that extended to the shores of an ice-free Arctic Ocean. Canadian and.

Wikipedia defines no-analog in ecology as: No-analog (variants may omit the hyphen and/or use the British English analogue), or alternately novel, climatic conditions (no-analog climates) or biological communities (no-analog communities) in paleoecology and ecological forecasting are those without current equivalents.

2/1/2013  · In particular, no-analogue climates are also key areas of interest for invasion ecology , as well as for the management and policy frameworks built on.

11/1/2007  · No-analog communities (communities that are compositionally unlike any found today) occurred frequently in the past and will develop in the greenhouse world of the future.

Finally, whether or not a new, fourth phase has emerged, the overall degree of human-induced change has entered a “no- analogue” state (Steffen et al. 2004). This state is matched by sociotechnological capacity to affect the very functioning of the biosphere for which there are also no analogues.

The well documented no-analog plant communities of late-glacial North America are closely linked to “novel” climates also lacking modern analogs, characterized by high seasonality of temperature. In climate simulations for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change A2 and B1 emission scenarios, novel climates arise by 2100 AD, primarily in …
