PART IV Special Examples
In Parts I-III the authors have set out general principles
determining agroecosystem responses to global change and
the consequences of these have been explored. In this Part
we present five Special Examples that bring the focus down
to explore the impacts of global change at the
agroecosystem, technology, population, and regional level.
Part I Resource Supply and Demand
