| Summary |
"This handbook provides a unique resource covering all aspects of forest ecology from a global perspective. It covers both natural and managed forests, from boreal, temperate, sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world. The book is divided into seven parts, addressing the following themes: forest types; forest dynamics; forest flora and fauna; energy and nutrients; forest conservation and management; forests and climate change; human impacts on forest ecology."--Provided by publisher |
