Vegetation, soil and climate are the most important components of
ecological systems. The book represents a compact synthesis of our
current knowledge about the ecology of the Earth and is thus the
basis for understanding the major interrelationships in a global
perspective. In the first part, with a rich endowment of
illustrations and photographic material, the well-introduced book
deals with the essential processes and operations on the Earth's
surface that lead to the formation of the vegetation cover with its
distinctive zonation. In the second part, the individual vegetation
zones as large-scale ecosystems (i.e. zonobiomes of the biosphere)
are consistently described comparatively according to certain
criteria. In a short and compact form, the main characteristics and
structures as well as examples of ecosystem processes are
discussed. The large-scale ecosystems are at the same time the
basis and reference system for all anthropogenic changes that have
drastically altered the vegetation in the last millennia, but
especially in the 20th century.This book is a translation of the
original German 1st edition Vegetation und Klima by Siegmar-W.
Breckle and M. Daud Rafiqpoor, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH
Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done
with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by
the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done
primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read
stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer
Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for
the production of books and on the related technologies to support
the authors.
Mit dem vorliegenden Band wird Rechenschaft abgelegt ueber vier
Jahrzehnte wahrende Forschungen zur aVergleichenden Geookologie der
tropischen Hochgebirge der Neuen Welto. Es werden die Ergebnisse
aus den nordlichen (Mexiko) und suedlichen (Bolivien) Randtropen
mit denen aus den inneren Tropen (Ecuador) vergleichend
dargestellt. Zentraler Forschungsschwerpunkt ist dabei die immer
noch lebhaft diskutierte Frage der oberen Waldgrenze in den
tropischen Gebirgen im Spiegel des menschlichen Wirkens. .
