Terrestrial Ecosystems in a Changing World: Global Change - The IGBP Series
Editat de Josep G. Canadell, Diane E. Pataki, Louis F. Pitelkaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 noi 2006
- key processes of the earth system such as the CO2 fertilization effect, shifts in disturbances and biome distribution, the saturation of the terrestrial carbon sink, and changes in functional biodiversity,
- ecosystem services such the production of wheat, pest control, and carbon storage in croplands, and
- sensitive regions in the world threaten by rapid changes in climate and land use such as high latitudes ecosystems, tropical forest in Southeast Asia, and ecosystems dominated by Monsoon climate.

Recenzii
From the reviews:
"This volume integrates 25 contributors prepared by over 100 authors from around the world working under the auspices of the Programme. … this book brings the IGBP research on terrestrial ecosystems to a wide scientific audience, and includes the latest developments and achievements in this area. … The introductory and summary chapters are very valuable, rendering the book accessible to a general audience, not only to specialists. The book can also be highly recommended to the broad scientific community interested in global change." (Urszula Somorowska, Papers on Global Change, Issue 15, 2008)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Over 100 authors present 25 contributions on the impacts of global change on terrestrial ecosystems including:
- key processes of the earth system such as the CO2 fertilization effect, shifts in disturbances and biome distribution, the saturation of the terrestrial carbon sink, and changes in functional biodiversity,
- ecosystem services such the production of wheat, pest control, and carbon storage in croplands, and
- sensitive regions in the world threaten by rapid changes in climate and land use such as high latitudes ecosystems, tropical forest in Southeast Asia, and ecosystems dominated by Monsoon climate.
Caracteristici
Brings the latest science on impacts of global change on a number of critical components of the terrestrial biosphere-human environment such as the carbon cycle, urban systems, and wheat-rice crop systems among others Emphasis is placed on impacts of atmospheric, climate and land use change Discusses in various chapters the future challenges and the scientific frameworks to address them Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
