| 第5题： {{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing human- kinD、Understanding the potential impacts of climate change for natural ecosystems is essential if we are going to manage our environment to minimize the negative consequences of climate change and maximize the opportunities that it may offer.Because natural ecosystems are complex, nonlinear systems, it follows that their responses to climate change are likely to be complex.Climate change may affect natural ecosystems m a variety of ways. In the short term. climate change can alter the mix of plant species in land ecosystems such as grasslands. In the long term, climate change has the potential to dramatically alter the geo- graphic distribution of major vegetation types savannas, forests, and climate change can also potentially alter global ecosystem processes, including the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Moreover. changes in these ecosystem processes can affect and be affected by changes in the plant species of the ecosystem and vegetation type.All of the climate change-induced alterations of natural ecosystems affect the services, that these ecosystems provide to humans. The global average surface temperature increase of half a degreeCelsius observed over the past century has been in part due to differential changes in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, resulting in a narrowing of the diurnal temperature range.Decreases in the diurnal temperature range were first identified in the United States, where large-area trends showed that maximum temperatures have remained constant or increased only slightly, whereas minimum temperatures have increased at a faster rate. In this issue,Al-ward et al. report on the different sensitivities of rangeland plants to minimum temperature increases. |
