CR Special 3
Vulnerability and adaptation of African ecosystems to global climate change
Climate Research Vol. 6, No. 2 (1996)
Publication date: February 19, 1996
Co-edited by Robert Dixon, Sandra Guill, Francis Mkanda and Ihor Hlohowskyj
Relatively little scientific information has been published in the refereed literature regarding global climate change impacts on African ecosystems. Unique papers in this special edition address the impacts of climate change on human health and the diminishing forest, agronomic, water and wildlife resources of Africa.
