…regarding this statement: “92% of currently protected areas set up to preserve biodiversity are not expected to be the same ecosystem in 100 years time.”

…it is both a startling number, and, at the same time, to be expected….evolution in general–and the evolution of ecosystems specifically–is a product of dynamic and often complext interactions between flora, fauna, and forces of Nature….

…what would be important to know here is how this projected rate of change compares to “control” ecosystems–those not subjected to climate forcing, as many are today. And, also, what the bio-diversity ‘rating’ (high or low) would be for these slower moving/changing ecosystems in 100 years time, etc.

Thanks for this post on an over-looked aspect of Nature.
