İklim Değişikliğinin Adalar Üzerindeki Etkileri ve Ekolojik Kırılganlık Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

This study offers a multidimensional evaluation of the impacts of climate change on island ecosystems and their ecological vulnerability. Due to their limited land area, isolation, and unique environmental conditions, islands are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Sea-level rise, increasing temperatures, and the frequency of extreme weather events threaten island biodiversity, freshwater resources, agricultural production, cultural heritage, and tourism. The study explores the physical and socio-economic characteristics of island ecosystems and analyzes climate-induced risks in relation to biodiversity, cultural landscapes, and the agriculture-tourism nexus. Moreover, a range of national and international case studies (e.g., Pico Island, Sagar Island, Pingtan, Chongming, etc.) are reviewed, demonstrating different vulnerability assessment models such as SRP, PSR, CVI, and TEV. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, community participation, and evidence-based planning for enhancing resilience and ensuring the sustainable management of island ecosystems under climate change.
