Scientists tell us that climate change is upon us and the physical
world is changing quickly with serious implications for
biodiversity and human wellbeing. Forests cover vast regions of the
globe and serve as a first line of defence against the worst
effects of climate change, but only if we keep them healthy and
resilient. Forests in Our Changing World tells us how to do that.
Authors Joe Landsberg and Richard Waring present an overview of
forests around the globe, describing basic precepts of forest
ecology and physiology and how forests will change as earth's
climate warms. Drawing on years of research and teaching, they
discuss the values and uses of both natural and plantation-based
forests. In easy-to-understand terms, they describe the ecosystem
services forests provide, such as clean water and wildlife habitat,
present economic concepts important to the management and policy
decisions that affect forests, and introduce the use of
growth-and-yield models and remote-sensing technology that provide
the data behind those decisions. This book is a useful guide for
undergraduates as well as managers, administrators, and policy
makers in environmental organisations and government bodies looking
for a clear overview of basic forest processes and pragmatic
suggestions for protecting the health of forests.
