说明
全面探讨欧洲繁殖鸟类的分布与当前气候之间的关系，以及未来气候变化可能如何改变每个物种的潜在繁殖分布。
报告详细介绍了 431 个物种的研究结果；还简要介绍了另外 48 个本地物种和 16 个引进物种。
该卷的内容包括
- 概述欧洲的气候和植被模式
- 欧洲繁殖鸟类的生物地理学分析
- 物种分布与气候关系研究背景综述
- 讨论此类研究中使用的方法；概述预计到本世纪末欧洲气候将如何变化
- 讨论物种如何应对气候变化
- 对 431 个物种中的每一个物种：简要介绍其分布和生态情况、最近观测到的和模拟的地理分布地图、21 世纪晚期其未来可能的分布地图、物种分布在气候空间中的位置图，以及描述气候变化对物种可能产生的影响的文字说明
- 对所研究的 431 个物种的结果进行综述和讨论
- 最后一节探讨这些结果的影响，特别是对欧洲鸟类保护的影响。
这本书中包含了许多地图和图表，并简明扼要地介绍了详细研究的 431 个物种的分布和生态情况，为业余和专业鸟类学家提供了许多有价值的信息。 更多的生物学家和保护科学家，以及欧洲和其他地区处理生物多样性保护相关问题的政府和非政府组织的人员也会对这些介绍、评论和合成材料感兴趣。

The book covers the very important subject of climate change, which dominates public discussions in aspects of life going beyond nature, such as public policy and economics. If one is interested in ornithology and birdwatching on any level, this is an important reference study.
The book is structured much like a dissertation or similar academic manuscript, with detailed introduction, methods, results (most of the book) and conclusions parts. However, the underlying data is not open as far as I could deduce from the text in the book, which makes it difficult to have experts assess the quality of the findings or reproduce them.
For me, the most unfortunate omission from the study was the analysis of the data from Africa for migrant species. The study focues entirely on the breeding grounds of the species breeding in Europe and how how those would be affected from climate change. However, pressures on wintering grounds, especially if they are in narrow and specialized regions can also prove significant. I wish this would have been covered in this important work.
One more aspect to consider is that the book is from 2007. Considering the rapid developments in climate science, I hope future editions with broader scopes would be considered by the authors.
I recommend the book to readers interested in ornithology and climate change. As the scope of the analysis is for the far future, it is of less relevance for readers interested in short term impacts on their observations as hobbyist birders.
