Birds in a Changing World

Birds are ubiquitous and conspicuous inhabitants of ecosystems rapidly being altered by human activity. This blog will explore the ecological and biogeochemical roles of birds--in transporting nutrients, dispersing seeds and regulating greenhouse gases--and discuss how forces like climate change are affecting bird populations and functions. It will also celebrate bird beauty and diversity as well as all who consider themselves to be birders or birdwatchers.
