Global Deforestation provides a concise but comprehensive
examination of the variety of ways in which deforestation modifies
environmental processes, as well as the societal implications of
these changes. The book stresses how forest ecosystems may be prone
to nearly irreversible degradation. To prevent the loss of
important biophysical and socioeconomic functions, forests need to
be adequately managed and protected against the increasing demand
for agricultural land and forest resources. The book describes the
spatial extent of forests, and provides an understanding of the
past and present drivers of deforestation. It presents a
theoretical background to understand the impacts of deforestation
on biodiversity, hydrological functioning, biogeochemical cycling,
and climate. It bridges the physical and biological sciences with
the social sciences by examining economic impacts and socioeconomic
drivers of deforestation. This book will appeal to advanced
students, researchers and policymakers in environmental science,
ecology, forestry, hydrology, plant science, ecohydrology, and
environmental economics.
