| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Climate change can substantially alter ecological communities. Here, we explored future communities in terms of taxonomic and functional characteristics. We found that future communities may be novel not simply because climates are changing at unprecedented rates but also because of the synergetic influences of other environmental changes. Thus ecological processes may be more seriously affected in the future than is generally anticipated based on existing climate-change scenarios, with possible consequences for ecosystem functioning.
