Warm-temperate deciduous forests are "southern", mainly
oak-dominated deciduous forests, as found over the warmer southern
parts of the temperate deciduous forest regions of East Asia,
Europe and eastern North America. Climatic analysis has shown that
these forests extend from typical temperate climates to well into
the warm-temperate zone, in areas where winters are a bit too cold
for the ‘zonal’ evergreen broad-leaved forests normally
expected in that climatic zone. This book is the first to recognize
and describe these southern deciduous forests as an alternative to
the evergreen forests of the warm-temperate zone. This
warm-temperate zone will become more important under global
warming, since it represents the contested transition between
deciduous and evergreen forests and between tropical and temperate
floristic elements. This book is dedicated to the memory of Tatsuō
Kira, the imaginative Japanese ecologist who first noticed and
described this general zonation exception and who proposed the name
warm-temperate deciduous forest.
