Global Change - the IGBP: Terrestrial Ecosystems in a Changing World (2006, Hardcover) by ebook DOC, PDF, FB2
9783540327295 3540327290 Over 100 authors present 25 contributions on the impacts of global change on terrestrial ecosystems including:- critical impacts on processes of the earth system such as the effects of increasing CO2 on the net carbon uptake, and changes in functional biodiversity,- impacts on ecosystem services such as wheat production and carbon storage in croplands, and- impacts on the most sensitive regions in the world including the high latitudes and Southeast Asia.Finally, the book explores fundamental new research developments such as identifying spatial thresholds and nonlinearities, the key role of urban development in global biogeochemical processes, and the need for stronger integration of natural and human dimensions in addressing the challenge of global change., This book examines the impacts of global change on terrestrial ecosystems. Emphasis is placed on impacts of atmospheric, climate and land use change, and the book discusses the future challenges and the scientific frameworks to address them. Finally, the book explores fundamental new research developments and the need for stronger integration of natural and human dimensions in addressing the challenge of global change.
