Climate change represents one of the most alarming long-term
threats to ecosystems the world over. This new collection of papers
provides, for the first time, an overview of the potentially
serious impact that climate change may have on tropical forests.
The authors, a multi-disciplinary group of leading experts in
climatology, forestry, ecology and conservation biology, present a
state-of-knowledge snapshot of how tropical forests are likely to
react to the changes being wrought on our planet's atmosphere and
climate. Tropical forests represent extraordinary harbours for
biological diversity, and yet as deforestation and degradation
continue apace, they are under greater pressure from human impacts
than ever before. Climate change adds yet another threat to these
valuable ecosystems, and this volume demonstrates just how
significant a problem this may really be. The authors identify
certain types of forest, including tropical montane cloud forest
that may be particularly vulnerable. They also show the strong
likelihood of global warming aggravating problems in already
fragmented forest areas.
