Starting from the broad patterns in vegetation which have classically been seen as a passive response to climate, the authors build up from the local scale - with microclimates produced by plants - to the regional and global scale. The influence of plants (both on land and in the ocean) in making clouds, haze and rain are considered, along with plant effects on the composition of greenhouse gases in the earth‘s atmosphere. Broad global feedbacks that either stabilize or destabilize the earth‘s environment will be explored, in the context of environmental change in the recent geological past, and in the near future. Common contentions and misconceptions about the role of vegetation or forest removal in the spread of deserts will also be considered. | 出版日期 | Book 2010Latest edition | 关键词 | Cloud; Earth system science; Greenhouse gas; Greenhouse gases; Scale; Vegetation-climate feedbacks; World | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-00881-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-26905-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-00881-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 |
