N2  - "Information about the effects of changes experienced by biomes comes from the reconstruction of past vegetation and fauna based on biological fossils supported by dating. Records of environmental change are preserved in landforms and deposits such as lake, bog and cave sediments, alluvial and colluvial mantles and glacial moraines. Such information about past communities can contribute to climate change response planning by helping to define the amount and rate of change already experienced and hence the likely ability of ecosystems and species to endure change."
