The Role of Temperature in Shaping Ecosystem Resilience: A Modeling Perspective
Received Date: Dec 02, 2024 / Published Date: Dec 31, 2024
Abstract
Temperature is a fundamental climatic variable that significantly influences ecosystem functioning and resilience. As global temperatures rise due to climate change, understanding how temperature variability affects ecosystems’ capacity to recover from disturbances becomes increasingly critical. This study examines the role of temperature in shaping ecosystem resilience, with a focus on the modeling approaches that help predict how ecosystems respond to thermal stress. By integrating ecological models with temperature projections, we explore how various ecosystems— forests, wetlands, and grasslands—are likely to respond to future temperature changes. Our findings suggest that while some ecosystems may show adaptability to moderate temperature shifts, extreme temperatures or rapid temperature changes tend to overwhelm ecosystems' adaptive capacities. The study emphasizes the importance of using temperature-driven models for predicting ecosystem shifts, highlighting the need for conservation strategies that account for thermal thresholds and tipping points. The results underscore the urgency of addressing temperatureinduced vulnerabilities to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem services under future climate scenarios.
