Insights on current research and recent developments in
understanding global savanna systems Increasingly recognized as
synonymous with tropical grassy biomes, savannas are found in
tropical and sub-tropical climates as well as warm, temperate
regions of North America. Savanna Woody Plants and Large Herbivores
examines the interactions between woody plants and browsing mammals
in global savannas--focusing primarily on the C4 grassy ecosystems
with woody components that constitute the majority of global
savannas--and discusses contemporary savanna management models and
applications. This much-needed addition to current research
examines topics including the varying behavior of browsing mammals,
the response to browsing by woody species, and the factors that
inhibit forage intake. Contributions from an international team of
active researchers and experts compare and contrast different
savanna ecosystems, offering a global perspective on savanna
functioning, the roles of soil and climate in resource availability
and organism interaction, and the possible impacts of climate
change across global savannas. Fills a gap in literature on savanna
management issues, including biodiversity conservation and animal
production Applies concepts developed in other biomes to future
savanna research Complements contemporary books on savanna or large
herbivore ecology Focuses on the woody component of savanna
ecosystems and large herbivore interactions in savannas Compares
tree-mammal systems of savannas and other eco-systems of temperate
and boreal regions Provides numerous case studies of plant-mammal
interactions from various savanna ecosystems Savanna Woody Plants
and Large Herbivores is a valuable addition to those in fields such
as ecology, wildlife and conservation biology, natural resource
management, and environmental science.
