The benefits of marginal forests range from purely aesthetic to providing resources for producing many goods and services demanded by a growing world population. Increased demands for forest resources and amenities and recent warming of high latitude climates have generated interest in reforestation and afforestation of marginal habitats in cold regions. Afforestation of treeless landscapes improves the environment for human habitation and provides for land use and economic prosperity. Trees are frequently planted in cold climates to rehabilitate denuded sites, for the amenity of homes and villages, and for wind shelter, recreation, agroforestry, and industrial uses. In addition, forests in cold climates reduce the albedo of the earth‘s surface in winter, and in summer they are small but significant long-lived sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide. Finally, growth and reproductive success of forests at their geographic limi | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | development; environment; forest; physiology; temperature; Tree Biology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-1600-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4899-1602-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4899-1600-6 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1993 |
