Old-Growth Forests: Function, Fate and Value: Ecological Studies, cartea 207
Editat de Christian Wirth, Gerd Gleixner, Martin Heimannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2011
This book is the first ever to focus on the ecosystem functioning of old-growth forests. It is an exhaustive compendium of information that contains original work conducted by the authors. In addition, it is truly global in scope as it studies boreal forests in Canada, temperate old-growth forests in Europe and the Americas, and global tropical forests. Written in part to affect future policy, this eminently readable book is as useful for the scientist and student as it is for the politician and politically-interested layman.

Recenzii
From the reviews:“This book pulls together the most imperative current original research on old-growth forests. The editors, (all, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Germany) authoritative and well respected for their broad knowledge of biogeochemical processes of ecosystems, and forests in particular, have assembled contributions from more than 50 other experts on old-growth forest form/function (7 are North American). … Includes a handy geographic/taxonomic index and an extensive subject index, numerous photographs and scientific figures, and end-of-chapter references. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (D. L. Richter, Choice, Vol. 47 (6), February, 2010)
Caracteristici
First book on the ecosystem functioning of old-growth forests with a true global perspective Such a book is urgently needed in the context of the climate discussion to support the political process Especially the introduction and synthesis chapters were written also for policy makers Contains a Glossary explaining the most important terms and abbreviations used in the text Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
