Ecological Climatology 2nd Edition Paperback: Concepts and Applications - Tapa blanda

'Gordon Bonan's excellent Ecological Climatology text provides an up-to-date status report on ecosystem-climate interactions ... across a broad range of disciplines. The text is clearly written and little specialized knowledge is required to read it. ... Ecological Climatology clearly outlines the scope of possibility for integrating the physics of climate, the biological principles of ecology, and the biogeochemical pathways that link atmosphere and land surface.' David S. Gutzler, Natural Resources Journal

' ... successfully integrates fundamental concepts in climatology and ecology ... I highly recommend the text for climatologists and meteorologists interested in better understanding the role of vegetation in the climate system, or ecologists and plant physiologists interested in better understanding the role of the climate system in vegetated ecosystems.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

'... extremely well-written and even the more technical parts are accessible to a non-specialist.' Pam Berry, Environmental Conservation

'... the second edition is highly recommended for students in the atmospheric sciences and physical geography; and for reference libraries. ... I congratulate Cambridge University Press on the quality of their workmanship in bringing this manuscript to publication.' Bulletin of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society

Gordan Bonan is a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Colorado. His research interests include the ecological and hydrological processes by which land affects climate and how natural and human changes in vegetation alter climate.
