These changes will have an immense impact on ecosystem services, global economies, and our own quality of life. Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing today, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would remain elevated for hundreds of years, impacting abiotic and biotic systems.

Ecosystem ecology focuses on the transfer of energy and matter among living and non-living components within and between ecosystems. Ecosystems can be classified based on their general environment: freshwater, ocean water, and terrestrial. Ecologists study ecosystems using controlled experiments (in either natural or manipulated environments) and by creating ecosystem models that d
