Understanding which factors affect species diversity in different environments is critical to our ability to predict the consequences of climatic changes. By looking at past periods of time we can begin to understand the long-term consequences of changes that we can otherwise only observe over very brief time scales.

了解哪些因素会影响不同环境中的物种多样性，对于我们预测气候变化后果的能力至关重要。通过观察过去的时间段，我们可以开始理解变化的长期后果，否则我们只能在非常短的时间尺度上观察。
