Islands and mainland areas are different because of c. Inappropriate for use by thomas et al, since he was looking at endemics. Part 1 what are ecosystem services: broken into many categories: Japanese sardine catch increase in cold periods/high productivity: not all locations globally acted the same, hard to predict what happens as a result of climate change, can be used as model to predict future though. Water provisioning: water stress = surface water used by humans (domestic, industrial, agricultural) > 40% of available water (reducing what other species have: rainfall and temperature < climate, decrease rainfall = decrease streamflow (no mist = no water enters system) Increase temperature = increase need for water (can increase evaporation: climate change impacts available water, lifting cloud hypothesis = less water in cloud forests. The third world war will be about water .
