This up-to-date textbook of global vegetation ecology, which comprises the current state of knowledge, is long overdue and much-needed. It is a translation of the textbook “Vegetation der Erde” (Springer-Spektrum, Heidelberg).
1 wrz 2022 · Vegetation is a key biosphere component in supporting Earth's biodiversity and affects many important ecosystem services, including biodiversity protection, water conservation, climate regulation...
Vegetation Dynamics. Understanding ecosystem structure and function requires familiarity with the techniques, knowledge and concepts of the three disciplines of plant physiology, remote sensing and modelling. this is the first textbook to provide the fundamen-tals of these three domains in a single volume. it applies cross-disciplinary insights ...
Vegetation and climate change The distribution, phenology, and productivity of vegetation are highly sensitive to changes in climate, which affects all ecosystems on Earth [25]. Vegetation shifts in terms of altitude and geographical latitude due to rising temperatures, and the vulnerability of many ecosystems increases [26–28].
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.
Plants and Vegetation. Origins, Processes, Consequences. Plants make up 99.9 percent of the world’s living matter, provide food and shelter, and control the Earth’s climate. The study of plant ecology is therefore essential to understanding the biological functions and processes of the biosphere.
Vegetation and climate: an introduction to world vegetation patterns. One of the most difficult problems in ecology and biogeography is the correlation between vegetation and climate.
