A Systems Analysis of the Global Boreal Forest
Author: Herman H. Shugart
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521619738
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
The world's boreal forests, which lie to the south of the Arctic, are considered to be the Earth's most significant terrestrial ecosystems. A panel of ecologists here provide a synthesis of the important patterns and processes which occur in boreal forests and review the principal mechanisms which control the forest's patterns.

Structure and Function of an Alpine Ecosystem
Author: William D. Bowman
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195344294
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
This book will provide a complete overview of an alpine ecosystem, based on the long-term research conducted at the Niwot Ridge LTER. There is, at present, no general book on alpine ecology. The alpine ecosystem features conditions near the limits of biological existence, and is a useful laboratory for asking more general ecological questions, because it offers large environmental change over relatively short distances. Factors such as macroclimate, microclimate, soil conditions, biota, and various biological factors change on differing scales, allowing insight into the relative contributions of the different factors on ecological outcomes.

Global Change and the Function and Distribution of Wetlands
Author: Beth A. Middleton
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400744943
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The Global Change Ecology and Wetlands book series will highlight the latest research from the world leaders in the field of climate change in wetlands. Global Change and the Function and Distribution of Wetlands highlights information of importance to wetland ecologists. The chapters include syntheses of international studies on the effects of drought on function and regeneration in wetlands, sea level rise and the distribution of mangrove swamps, former distributions of swamp species and future lessons from paleoecology, and shifts in atmospheric emissions across geographical regions in wetlands. Overall, the book will contribute to a better understanding of the potential effects of climate change on world wetland distribution and function.

Mountain Environments in Changing Climates
Author: Martin Beniston
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134852363
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Home to large numbers of people, sources of water, centres of tourism, and sensitive ecological zones, mountain environments share distinctive climactic characteristics. Once regarded as economically non-viable regions, mountains now attract major investment as sites of tourism, hydro-power and communication routes. This book brings together some of the current work on the physical and human ecology of mountain environments, the impacts of climate change, the processes involved and their observation and prediction.
