The Interplay Between the Biosphere and Climate

Autor Costas A. Varotsos, Yuri A. Mazei
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2026
The climate issue is at the center of discussions related to the high frequency and greater intensity of devastating natural disasters, establishing a new term: “climate crisis.” This book explores the dialogue between the biosphere and the climate system and analyzes the threats to the biosphere from current climate change. It evaluates existing unsolved problems concerning the changes in the biosphere caused by human activities, especially those that are thought to be irreversible, such as the increase of carbon dioxide, the pollution of air, soil, fresh, and salt water, and deforestation. It focuses on the new techniques of studying the climate system and the methods that lead to the interconnection with the biosphere. 
Features
  • A comprehensive evaluation of the present-day understanding of the evolution of the climate–biosphere system evolution.
  • Discusses the parameters of biogeochemical cycles and other environmental processes in the context of climate–biosphere interdependence.
  • Explores interactive modeling of the natural and anthropogenic processes, and the link between their components.
  • Describes the biosphere as a complex system and includes survivability indicators and development, verification, and application of climate–biosphere models.
  • Highlights a new approach and relevant results of the internal variability of the climatic system based on the paleoreconstruction of the climate.
  • Explains the operational diagnostics, the estimation of the scale of damage, and the aftermath reduction of the stressful natural, biological, and hydrogeochemical processes.
This reference is for professionals, researchers, academics, and students in Biology, Climatology, Ecology, Atmospheric Sciences, Geophysics, Hydrology, and Socio-Economic Sciences.

Notă biografică

Prof. Dr. Costas A. Varotsos is the former Dean of the School of Science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Greece. His research focuses on Remote Sensing, Climate Dynamics, Environmental Change, and Non‑linear Processes in the Geo‑Environment. He has held teaching appointments at leading universities across the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, and China. He has published 421 scientific documents (including 320 indexed in Web of Science), 18 monographs, and chapters in six additional books. His work has an H-index = 82 (Google Scholar), and he has been repeatedly listed among the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University, USA. His discovery of the first major sudden stratospheric warming over Antarctica in September 2002, together with his contribution to understanding the subsequent split of the Antarctic ozone hole into two mini-holes, was highlighted by the United Nations Environmental Programme and recognized by Thomson ISI as a Hot Paper in the field of Ecology/Environment. Furthermore, his research on scaling dynamics in global atmospheric ozone and temperature was identified by Thomson ISI as an Emerging Research Fronts Paper in Geosciences. Prof. Varotsos has coordinated or participated in more than 80 major international competitive research projects, funded by national, European, and international organizations. He has received numerous distinctions, including the A.S. Popov Gold Medal from the Russian A.S. Popov Society and the Vernadsky Medal from the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (Moscow). He also holds academician and honorary‑professor titles from multiple academies, universities, and research institutes.
Professor Yuri A. Mazei, Lomonosov Moscow State University RU, is a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Editor-in-Chief of the Russian Journal of Ecosystem Ecology, the Deputy-Chief-Editor of the journal Protistology, an editorial board member of the European Journal of Protistology, and of Nature Conservation Research. He has published more than 200 peer-reviewed articles as well as three monographs. His research areas include multiscale approaches to biodiversity, and the structure and functions of biological communities; the reconstruction of ecosystems development and climate change during the Holocene; the taxonomy and ecology of freeliving microbial eukaryotes; and the ecology of marine coasts, wetlands, and soils. He has been awarded a medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences for young scientists and the Helen Tappan Award of the International Society for Testate Amoeba Research (ISTAR).

Descriere

This book explores the dialogue between the biosphere and the climate system and analyzes the threats to biosphere from current climate changes. It evaluates existing unsolved problems concerning the changes in biosphere caused by human activities, especially those considered irreversible, from carbon dioxide, air pollution to deforestation.
