A major task of our time is to ensure adequate food supplies for the world's current population (now nearing 7 billion) in a sustainable way while protecting the vital functions and biological diversity of the global environment. The task of providing for a growing population is likely to be even mo

LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS O F CLIMATIC CHANGE ON FLUVIAL SYSTEMS I N EUROPE
Climatic change has become a topic of major political and scientific concern and awareness is growing that the impact of changes in the hydrological cycle and regional hydrology might be important for society. The objective of this issue is to present the results of research on possible impacts of climatic change on fluvial systems and the way they interfere with changes in hydrology through land use changes. Emphasis is given to the temperate zones of Europe. The research that is presented here has been contributed to the European Conference on Landscape Ecological Impact of Climatic Change (LICC), held in December 1989 in The Netherlands (Boer and De Groot, 1990). This conference aimed to address the potential impact of climatic change on European semi-natural ecosystems and landscapes by (1) compiling existing scientific knowledge and information, (2) discussing methodologies and techniques for climate impact studies and, (3) formulating recommendations for future research and policies.
To meet these objectives the conference was scientifically prepared in six international multidisciplinary case study groups (

The mountain fluvial systems of southeast Spain involve sediment supply from steep mountain slopes into headwater channels. Alluvial fans often occur where these headwater channels emerge from the mountain areas, and may influence the connectivity of the sediment transport system from the mountain s
Data from a number of locations around southeastern Australia were analysed to determine the influence of climate change on the frequency and intensity of hail events in this region.

## Abstract The impact of future climate change on terrestrial ecosystem was projected by the atmosphericβvegetation interaction model (AVIM2) over China at four warmer levels of 1, 2, 3 and 4 Β°C. Future climate data were projected by regional climate model from the Hadley Centre under Special Repo
The problem of global climate change due to natural processes and anthropogenic sources and its impacts on world food security in general and its regional impacts in particular have come to forefront of the scientific community in recent years. Though the uncertainty of projected climate change at t
