Abstract

In light of the growing concerns over climate change, our study delves into its impact on the dynamics between predators and prey in temperate forest ecosystems. Focusing on particular regions within these forests, we utilized long-term monitoring techniques for both predator and prey populations, integrating them with an analysis of climate data. The results point to notable alterations in predator-prey relationships, which appear to align with observed changes in climate patterns. This research emphasizes the enduring implications of climate change on the equilibrium of ecosystems and pinpoints areas warranting deeper investigation and conservation efforts.
