Global human population has been expanding exponentially, from 2.5 billion in 1950 to ~6 billion in 2000, and is likely to reach 10 billion by 2050, and thus the demand for natural resources is significantly increasing. It has resulted in rapid, extensive and persistent changes in earth ecosystems, more in the past 50 years than at any time in human history. It is high time to initiate long-term ecological observations in different ecosystems in India to record long-term large-scale response of eco systems in the changing environment scenario in the 21st century.
