ASSESSING IMPACTS ON NATURAL RESOURCES

Special issue: "Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change on Natural Resource Systems," K.D. Frederick (Resources for the Future, 1616 P St. NW, Washington DC 20036), N.J. Rosenberg, Eds., Climatic Change, 28(1-2), Oct. 1994. A hardbound edition is available from Kluwer Acad. Pub., 101 Philip Dr., Norwell MA 02061 (617-871-6600) in U.S./Can.; elsewhere: Distribution Ctr., POB 322, 3300 AH Dordrecht, Neth.

These papers culminate a project designed to encourage and facilitate future integrated assessments of the social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change on terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. The second paper includes a primer on the current understanding of the science underlying climate change; the last summarizes needs for improved climate impact assessments for policy development.
