abstract |
Fossil records are replete with examples of long-term biotic responses to past climate
change. One particularly useful set of records are those preserved in lake and marine
sediments, recording both climate changes and corresponding biotic responses. Recently
there has been increasing focus on the need for conservation of ecological and evolutionary
processes in the face of climate change. We review key areas where palaeoecological
archives contribute to this conservation goal, namely: (i) determination of rates
and nature of biodiversity response to climate change; (ii) climate processes responsible
for ecological thresholds; (iii) identification of ecological resilience to climate
change; and (iv) management of novel ecosystems. We stress the importance of long-term
palaeoecological data in fully understanding contemporary and future biotic responses. |
