Forests hold a significant proportion of global biodiversity and terrestrial carbon stocks and are at the forefront of human-induced global change. The dynamics and distribution of forest vegetation determines the habitat for other organisms, and regulates the delivery of ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Presenting recent research across temperate and tropical ecosystems, this volume synthesises the numerous ways that forests are responding to global change and includes perspectives on: the role of forests in the global carbon and energy budgets; historical patterns of forest change and diversification; contemporary mechanisms of community assembly and implications of underlying drivers of global change; ...

Reviews for Forests and Global Change
'Forests and Global Change provides a balanced suite of methodical approaches: long-term plots, a variety of models, phylogenetics and remote sensing … readers not only gain a better understanding of how forests function, but also how that understanding can be used to help conserve them.' Audrey Barker Plotkin, Ecology 'This is an important book for ecologists and anyone who is ... Read more
