Many global change stresses on terrestrial and marine ecosystems affect not only ecosystem services that are essential to humankind, but also the trajectory of future climate by altering energy and mass exchanges with the atmosphere.

It is aligned to a group of grade 5 standards. It has a focus on life science with a secondary focus on physical science. Four plausible scenarios explore the future of ecosystems and human well-being for the next 50 years and beyond. The scenarios consider two possible paths of world development: increasing globalization or increasing regionalization. They also consider two different approaches to ecosystem management: in one approach, actions are reactive and address problems only after they become obvious, in Our global impact is finally receiving the scientific attention it deserves. The outcome will largely determine the future course of evolution. Human-modified ecosystems are shaped by our activities and their side effects. They share a common set of traits including simplified food webs, landscape homogenization, and high nutrient and energy inputs. Ecosystem simplification is the ecological 5.1.2 The scenarios are not predictions, but explore possible future changes in ecosystem services and socio-economic factors. No scenario represents business-as-usual, though all begin from current conditions and trends. The actual future is likely to consist of a mix of approaches and consequences described in the scenarios, as well as events and innovations that have not yet been imagined. Future climate change will affect many aspects of ecosystem composition, structure, and functioning. Some of these will have profound influences on ecosystem services. Others will have effects on the integrity of ecosystems and on their resilience (their ability to cope with future changes).
