The media coverage of natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, floods,
ice storms, etc.) indicates the prevalence of natural disasters in
most, if not all, ecosystems. In order for scientists to study,
understand, and ultimately predict how these disturbances affect
ecosystems, it is necessary for them to know more about the
physical processes involved in these disturbances and to learn how
to couple these processes to the ecological systems. Essential for
all ecologists, forest researchers, and conservation biologists,
this book includes chapters on the disturbance processes, how the
disturbance causes necrosis or death to individuals, and their
effects on population or community processes. In this book,
physical scientists who study disturbances provide an introduction
to the physical disturbance processes, while ecologists relate this
information to the way the vegetation responds to the disturbances.
This reference is also key for all researchers hydrology,
geomorphology, and environmental management.
* Includes coverage on six different disturbance processes: Wind,
Gravity, Geomorphic, Hydrologic, Combustion, and Biotic
* Provides a clear explanation of how some of the physical
processes of disturbance affect plant ecological processes
* Offers ecologists an up-to-date understanding of the physical
processes and allows them to predict future affects of
disturbances
* Unites two related fields by linking the disturbance processes
and ecological responses
* Presents physical scientists with ideas of how they might
usefully apply their knowledge to advance understanding of
ecological systems
