Vegetation and the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: The First 400 Million Years Book

Plants have colonised the World's surface for the last 400 million years. In this book the authors demonstrate that the role of vegetation in the terrestrial carbon cycle during this time can be analysed by considering the key elements of present day vegetation processes linked to models of the global climate during different geological eras. Simulation of possible conditions in future centuries are also presented, providing valuable predictions of the status of the Earth's vegetation and carbon cycle at a time of global warming.Read More

  • Product Description

    Plants have colonized and modified the world's surface for the past 400 million years. In this book the authors demonstrate that an understanding of the role of vegetation in the terrestrial carbon cycle during this time can be gained by linking the key mechanistic elements of present day vegetation processes to models of the global climate during different geological eras. The resulting interactive simulations of climate and vegetation processes tie in with observable geological data supporting the validity of the authors' approach.
