The Terrestrial Biosphere and Global Change: Implications for Natural and Managed Ecosystems (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Book Series) Book

The international research effort on global change and terrestrial ecosystems is yielding useful results. This summary volume describes current understanding of how the world's vegetation, both natural and managed, is interacting with global environmental change. It describes both the impacts of global change on several key aspects of vegetation--its functioning, its structure and composition, its capability to produce food and fibre and its diversity--and the consequent feedbacks of these effects to further environmental change.Read More

  • Product Description

    This new synthesis summarizes the international research effort in the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE) Core Project of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme in five major thematic areas: ecosystem physiology, ecosystem structure and composition, terrestrial production systems, global biogeochemistry, and ecological complexity (biodiversity). The editors present a summary of the integrated and interactive effects of global change on the terrestrial biosphere for four key regions of the world, as well as a projection of future trends in the terrestrial component of the global carbon cycle. The book also includes a section on tools developed or modified for global change research.
