15 (1): Past Human-Climate-Ecosystem Interactions
This issue’s special section launches the new PAGES Focus 4 - Human-Climate-Ecosystem Interactions which has evolved from the former “Focus 5”. It ventures beyond paleoclimate reconstruction to ask questions about how climate, ecosystems and human activities have interacted in the past, and how this knowledge can provide information about the functioning of modern environmental systems.
