Sinopsis

Future Forests: Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change provides background on forests as natural and social systems, the current distribution and dynamics based on major biomes that set the stage for their role of forests in global systems, the nature of climate change organized by biomes, and detailed descriptions of mitigation and adaptation strategies. This book forms presents a foundational summary of the feedback between the effect of climate change on forests and the converse effects of forests on climate, leading to conclusions on how forest management needs to be dictated by climate change.

The book will be ideal for readers in the fields of climate change science, forest science and conservation biology, helping them develop a thorough understanding on the broad perspective of climate change on forests, the response of forests to these changes, and other climate-forest interaction potentials.

  • Organizes information on climate change and the effect of/on forests at a general level before presenting biome-related specifics
  • Discusses the differences among major biomes (tropical, boreal, temperate) and the systems in which forest management (and hence potential mitigation and adaptation) occurs
  • Goes beyond simply describing problems, elaborating on potential solutions that can be implemented for climate change mitigation

De la contraportada

Future Forests: Adaptation to Climate Change provides background on forests as natural and social systems, the current distribution and dynamics based on major biomes that set the stage for chapters on the role of forests in global systems, the nature of climate change organized by biomes, and detailed descriptions of mitigation and adaptation strategies and techniques. This book forms an advances foundational summary of the feedback between the effect of climate change on forests and the converse effects of forests on climate, leading to conclusions on how forest management needs to be dictated by climate change and how climate change can be mitigated by forest management.

Future Forests: Adaptation to Climate Change presents helps readers in the fields of climate change science, forest science, and conservation biology develop a thorough understanding the broad perspective of climate change on forests, the response of forests to these changes and other climate-forest interaction potentials.
