Introduction.

This part serves as the introduction of the book which examines the nexus of climate change and biological invasions, the resulting impacts, and to identify means to reduce the vulnerability and increase the resiliency of managed and unmanaged ecosystems. This introduction gives a glimpse of the chapters and discusses the goals of the book.
