The Role of Water in Global Environmental Change Processes

摘要: Global Environmental Change (GEC) is understood as a set of human-induced environmental changes which have the capacity to perturb Earth System. This paper ranges widely, if superficially, over ways in water implicated GEC processes. We first consider itself — what it, causes there science and role water? System Science provides answers terms exchanges, cycles feedbacks energy, momentum, other biogeochemicals. GECs current concern ozone depletion, greenhouse effect, reduction biological diversity, soil atmosphere degradation are driven by human interventions these cycles.
