Many terms often used to describe old-growth forests imply that
these forests are less vigorous, less productive and less stable
than younger forests. But research in the last two decades has
yielded results that challenge the view of old-growth forests being
in decline. Given the importance of forests in battling climate
change and the fact that old-growth forests are shrinking at a rate
of 0.5% per year, these new results have come not a moment too
soon.
This book is the first ever to focus on the ecosystem
functioning of old-growth forests. It is an exhaustive compendium
of information that contains original work conducted by the
authors. In addition, it is truly global in scope as it studies
boreal forests in Canada, temperate old-growth forests in Europe
and the Americas, and global tropical forests. Written in part to
affect future policy, this eminently readable book is as useful for
the scientist and student as it is for the politician and
politically-interested layman.
Grounded in extensive empirical research, Danger, Development and
Legitimacy in East Asian Maritime Politics addresses the major
issues of geopolitics in the region that have been and will
continue to shape the international politics of the Asia-Pacific
for years to come. Covering the nation-states of China, Japan and
South Korea, it includes an examination of the key island disputes,
as well as analysis of the North Korea-South Korea clashes in the
Yellow Sea, controversies in Japan's relations with both Koreas and
the so-called 'history disputes', including recognition of World
War II atrocities across the region. In doing so, this book
explores a range of themes from the ecological environment to the
globalized nature of shipping and therein links the East Asian
maritime sphere directly to the dynamics and developments in the
domestic politics of each country. Thus, it serves to demonstrate
how several controversial debates in the international politics of
the Asia-Pacific are ultimately and inextricably intertwined. A
timely contribution that furthers our understanding of contemporary
politics of the Asia-Pacific, this book will be of great interest
to students and scholars of Asian politics, international relations
and the Asia-Pacific region in general.
