    • 20.1: Earth's Energy Budget
      To understand the global climate of Earth, it is important to understand the energy budget of the Earth, which drives the overall climate of the globe.
    • 20.2: The Greenhouse Effect
      The process by which the atmosphere absorbs the sun’s energy and prevents it from being radiated back out to space has often been compared to that of a greenhouse, leading to the nickname the greenhouse effect. It is the same process that occurs when you leave your car sitting in the sun with the windows rolled up.
    • 20.3: Climate and the Effects of Global Climate Change
      All biomes are universally affected by global conditions, such as climate, that ultimately shape each biome’s environment. Scientists who study climate have noted a series of marked changes that have gradually become increasingly evident during the last sixty years. Global climate change is the term used to describe altered global weather patterns, including a worldwide increase in temperature, due largely to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
    • 20.4: Soil and Water Conservation
      Biodiversity is also important for global soil and water protection. Terrestrial vegetation in forests and other upland habitats maintain water quality and quantity, and controls soil erosion.
