The rugged beauty of the glacial landscapes, the assemblage of plants and ani-mals that currently inhabits the CCE, and the resulting array of ecosystem services are the result of the intricate interplay of past geological, climatic, and ecological processes across a complex landscape. To assess the sustainability of these resources, we must first understand the effects of past, present, and future climate variability and change on the ecosystem. For instance, forests have long lags in responding to climatic shifts, which means that what we see as “normal” is a combination of past and present conditions. If land managers are to sus-tain current resources, they need paleoperspectives that give them a realistic view of what those resource conditions should be.

As biodiversity, ecosystem function, and ecosystem services become more closely linked with human well-being at all scales, the study of ecology takes on increasing social, economic, and political importance. However, when compared with other disciplines long linked with human well-being, such as medicine, chemistry, and physics, the techni-cal tools and instruments of the ecologist have generally lagged behind those of the others. This disparity is beginning to be overcome with the increasing use of biotelemetric techniques, microtechnologies, satellite and airborne sciencesarah May 17, 2012 11:35:18 PM
