Climate-driven threshold effects in the natural environment
This project assesses a key evidence gap from the CCRA2 Evidence Report on climate-driven threshold (i.e. non-linear) effects within the natural environment, and the role of adaptation (natural and human responses) in moderating those threshold effects. A threshold is defined in the study as “the point at which a non-linear change in an ecosystem component occurs as a result of change in a climate driver”. The report assesses threshold effects in the following habitat types; freshwater, farmland and grasslands, peatlands, woodlands, marine and coastal margins.
