Resumen:
There is an interaction between the Climate and the Biosfera. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the extent to which atmosphere processes affect ecological systems and society. Human activities have likewise directly or indirectly modified the atmosphere. Changes in the atmospheric processes, in turn, affect ecological processes and societal activities. Several scientific issues involving the atmosphere have been identified in the past as being crucial to society. Each of these have become a major concern to a set of scientist and policymakers in developed and developing countries. They include: El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon Carbon dioxide increases, trace gas production and their effects on global atmospheric temperatures an ultimately on rainfall regimes Stratospheric ozone depletion The effects of different land-use practices (overgrazing, irrigation, deforestation, groundwater depletion) on atmospheric processes (especially on climate elements such as temperature and precipitation) Climate modifications schemes in theory and practice Scientific research continually discovers and confirms, modifies, or rejects theories about the interactive mechanisms between the climate and the biosphere. Climate and the Biosphere is an important area of concern not only to the scientific community but to policymakers as well, because only with a proper understanding of these interactions can human activities be modified to mitigate or avert adverse interactions while selectively reinforcing the positive ones. This book has it origin in the belief that a major impact would be on water supply and demand     This book was supported by Nacional Agency of Scientific and Technologic Promotion and National Research Council.
