书目名称 | Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Tropical Forest Ecosystems | 编辑 | Adam Markham (Director) | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Climate change represents one of the most alarming long-termthreats to ecosystems the world over. This new collection of papersprovides, for the first time, an overview of the potentially seriousimpact that climate change may have on tropical forests. The authors,a multi-disciplinary group of leading experts in climatology,forestry, ecology and conservation biology, present astate-of-knowledge snapshot of how tropical forests are likely toreact to the changes being wrought on our planet‘s atmosphere andclimate. .Tropical forests represent extraordinary harbours for biologicaldiversity, and yet as deforestation and degradation continue apace,they are under greater pressure from human impacts than ever before.Climate change adds yet another threat to these valuable ecosystems,and this volume demonstrates just how significant a problem this mayreally be. The authors identify certain types of forest, includingtropical montane cloud forest that may be particularly vulnerable.They also show the strong likelihood of global warming aggravatingproblems in already fragmented forest areas. | 出版日期 | Book 1998 | 关键词 | Climatology; Cloud; Conservation biology; Deforestation; Ecology; Rain; Rainforest; Storm; Transpiration; eco | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-2730-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5046-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-2730-3 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 1998 |
