For centuries, people have understood that forests, and our
utilisation of them, influence the climate. With modern
environmental concerns, there is now scientific, governmental, and
popular interest in planting trees for climate protection. This
book examines the historical origins of the idea that forests
influence climate, the bitter controversy that ended the science,
and its modern rebirth. Spanning the 1500s to the present, it
provides a broad perspective across the physical and biological
sciences, as well as the humanities, to explain the many ways
forests influence climate. It describes their use in climate-smart
forestry and as a natural climate solution, and demonstrates that
in the forest-climate question, human and sylvan fates are linked.
Accessibly written with minimal mathematics, it is ideal for
students in environmental and related sciences, as well as anyone
with an interest in understanding the environmental workings of
forests and their interactions with climate.
