Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climatic Change (Springer Praxis Books / Environmental Sciences) - Hardcover
This is the first book to examine how tropical rain forest ecology is altered by climate change, rather than simply seeing how plant communities were altered. The book’s goal is to provide a current overview of the impacts of climate change on tropical forests. It aims to investigate past, present, and future climatic influences on the ecosystems with the highest biodiversity on the planet.

Review:
From the reviews:
"This ... book deals with responses of rain forests--in the Far East, Africa, and South America--to climatic change. ... The coverage is up-to-date, and each chapter has its own reference section. The figures and tables are well done and useful. ... Good subject index. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners." (K. L. Williams, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (9), May, 2007)

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. The goal of this book is to provide a current overview of the impacts of climate change on tropical forests, to investigate past, present, and future climatic influences on the ecosystems with the highest biodiversity on the planet. "Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climatic Change" will be the first book to examine how tropical rain forest ecology is altered by climate change, rather than simply seeing how plant communities were altered. Shifting the emphasis onto ecological processes e. g. how diversity is structured by climate and the subsequent impact on tropical forest ecology, provides the reader with a more comprehensive coverage. A major theme of this book that emerges progressively is the interaction between humans, climate and forest ecology. While numerous books have appeared dealing with forest fragmentation and conservation, none have explicitly explored the long term occupation of tropical systems, the influence of fire and the future climatic effects of deforestation, coupled with anthropogenic emissions. Incorporating modelling of past and future systems paves the way for a discussion of conservation from a climatic perspective, rather than the usual plea to stop logging. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
