EBOOK Climate Change, Air Pollution and Global Challenges
Opis
Understanding and Perspectives from Forest Research
There are significant pressures from climate change and air pollution that forests currently face. This book aims to increase understanding of the state and potential of forest ecosystems to mitigate and adapt to climate change in a polluted environment. It reconciles process-oriented research, long-term monitoring and applied modeling through comprehensive forest ecosystem research. Furthermore, it introduces "e;forest super sites for research for integrating soil, plant and atmospheric sciences and monitoring. It also provides mechanistic and policy-oriented modeling with scientifically sound risk indications regarding atmospheric changes and ecosystem services.Identifies current knowledge gaps and emerging research needsHighlights novel methodologies and integrated research conceptsAssesses ecological meaning of investigations and prioritizing research need
