Relaying the results of cutting-edge biological research on ecosystem responses to global change, On the Front Lines of Climate and Biodiversity Science offers a crucial, multi-angled view of the value and power of long-term studies at field stations. Focusing on research conducted across California, from its coasts to the summits of the Sierra Nevada, this volume uses a cross-disciplinary approach to show how research from ecologically distinct systems can be evaluated together to produce meaningful insight. Taken collectively, these studies reveal new perspectives on the role of field-based science in understanding California biodiversity and advancing global conservation and habitat protection. The book’s findings encourage readers to push forward despite pressing challenges and to remain thoughtfully engaged with nature.
