Purpose of Review
The impacts of climate change on biodiversity in the last three decades have increasingly assumed from significant to threatening proportions and this causes major global concerns. This study aims at examining the recent and future impacts of global climate change on both ecological resources and human well-being. This review study is based on the general concept of ecological resilience: that coping with climate change stresses and disturbances depends on social resilience, political and environmental strategies accessible in a community. The study assessed over 300 peer-reviewed publications, both articles and books, which linked climate change impacts on ecosystems to social/health resilience of people in the specific regions. Publications on that were focused on general impacts of climate change on global ecology, ecosystem distribution shifts and phenology change; the ecological and social/health resilience, in the tropic and polar regions, were reviewed.
Recent Findings
The major finding of this study is that there is considerable variation in magnitudes and patterns of responses to climate change in different regions, even with an overall review of scientific studies on the global ecosystem and human health. Despite this, what is obvious is that change in the ecosystem in Polar Regions will continue to have significant impacts on the global environment, flora, fauna and ultimately human well-being.
Summary
There are many uncertainties, though, on the possible effects of climate change ecosystem and soils and their severe biological, social, cultural and economic consequences. Notwithstanding these uncertainties, the impacts of climate change on both ecosystem and human socio-cultural activities are very likely to become even more widespread in the near future.

当气候变得恶劣时,最近和未来的影响是什么?气候变化影响的生态和人类健康审查
审查目的
过去三十年来,气候变化对生物多样性的影响日益从重大变为威胁,这引起了全球的重大关注。本研究旨在探讨全球气候变化近期和未来对生态资源和人类福祉的影响。本综述研究基于生态复原力的一般概念:应对气候变化压力和干扰取决于社区的社会复原力、政治和环境策略。该研究评估了 300 多篇经过同行评审的出版物,包括文章和书籍,这些出版物将气候变化对生态系统的影响与特定地区人们的社会/健康复原力联系起来。相关出版物的重点是气候变化对全球生态、生态系统分布变化和物候变化的一般影响;对热带和极地地区的生态和社会/健康复原力进行了审查。
最近的发现
这项研究的主要发现是,即使对全球生态系统和人类健康的科学研究进行全面回顾,不同地区对气候变化的反应程度和模式也存在很大差异。尽管如此,显而易见的是,极地生态系统的变化将继续对全球环境、动植物群以及最终人类福祉产生重大影响。
概括
然而,气候变化对生态系统和土壤可能产生的影响及其严重的生物、社会、文化和经济后果还存在许多不确定性。尽管存在这些不确定性,气候变化对生态系统和人类社会文化活动的影响很可能在不久的将来变得更加广泛。
