dc.description.abstract	The aim of this paper is to describe the main impact of climate change on terrestrial and on coastal and estuarine systems. There is now ample evidence of the effect of climate change on terrestrial and marine environments. Hence, understanding and predicting the effect of climate change on plants is of major importance, because their responses can affect entire food webs, disturbance regimes and crucial ecosystem, services, including pollination, carbon and nutrient cycling, and water supply. We will herein review responses of flora to climate change in what concerns phenology and physiology of organisms, the range and distribution of species, the composition and interaction within communities, and the structure and dynamics of ecosystems. Estuarine and coastal ecosystems are strongly affected by variations in climate through alterations in freshwater input, which result in changes in water temperature and salinity. Predicting the response of estuarine systems to future scenarios of climate change requires knowledge of the present relationships between estuarine and coastal communities and variations in local weather patterns. The impact of biological, hydrodynamic and large scale climatic variables on the zooplankton, ichthyoplankton, fish and jellyfish communities of Mondego estuary (evaluated from 2003 to present) are presented and discussed. Ongoing Research programmes in zooplankton, ichthyoplankton, fish and jellyfish communities on the Mondego estuarine system (Portugal) are also described.	pt_PT
