摘要

This book "focuses on the profound trans-formations of Earth's environment that is now apparent, a transformation owing not to the great forces of nature or to extraterrestrial sources, but to the number and activities of people ― the phenomenon of global change". The authors have adopted a systematic approach. They begin by describing the Earth system―the whole of the physical and ecological environment that determines the state of the Earth ― which they view as one integrated system. Next they discuss the dynamics of the Earth system as it was before human influence: the characteristics of temporal and spatial variability, the role of biological processes, the connectivity between the different parts of the system, and the role of nonlinearities, such as the browning of the Sahara. The third chapter describes the Anthropocene, the most recent part of Earth history, which has been, and continues to be, massively influenced by humans. Here the authors identify the drivers of change, characterize these changes, and put them into perspective in relation to the overall change of the Earth system. The fourth chapter then deals with the responses of the Earth system to human activities.
