Product Description

Review

"Highly important contribution and is thoroughly recommended."--Quarterly Review of Biology

"Yadvinder Malhi and Oliver Phillips have been at the forefront of global change research in the Tropics for decades and are eminently qualified to produce an overview of the current state of research. They have produced a timely summary that will hopefully inspire the next phase of research into tropical forest response to atmospheric change."-- Bulletin of the American Meterological Society

Book Description

Tropical forests represent the world's most biodiverse ecosystems and play a key role in hydrology, carbon storage and exchange. Many of the human-induced pressures these regions are facing, e.g. fragmentation and deforestation, have been widely reported and well documented. However, there have been surprisingly few efforts to synthesize cutting-edge science in the area of tropical forest interaction with atmospheric change. At a time when our global atmosphere is undergoing a period of rapid change, both in terms of climate and in the cycling of essential elements such as carbon and nitrogen, a thorough and up-to-date analysis is now timely. This research level text, suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in plant ecology, tropical forestry, climate change science, and conservation biology, explores the vigorous contemporary debate as to how rapidly tropical forests may be affected by atmospheric change, and what this may mean for their future.
