How landscapes change: human disturbance and ecosystem fragmentation in the Americas / Bradshaw, G.A.(Ed.) ; Marquet, P.A.(Ed.) (2003)

Public ISBD Titre : How landscapes change: human disturbance and ecosystem fragmentation in the Americas Type de document : livre Auteurs : Bradshaw, G.A.(Ed.) ; Marquet, P.A.(Ed.) Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Ecological studies; 162 Importance : 361 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-43697-3 Note générale : 2 ex. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Americas  Biodiversity  Climat  Environmental impact  Landscape  Resource conservation Résumé : North and South America share similar human and ecological histories and, increasingly, economic and social linkages. As such, issues of ecosystem functions and disruptions form a common thread among these cultures. This volume synthesizes the perspectives of several disciplines, such as ecology, anthropology, economy, and conservation biology. The chief goal is to gain an understanding of how human and ecological processes interact to affect ecosystem functions and species in the Americas. Throughout the text the emphasis is placed on habitat fragmentation. At the same time, the book provides an overview of current theory, methods, and approaches used in the analysis of ecosystem disruptions and fragmentation.

In six chapters the most important areas in Asia, Europe, North and South America with conifers forest are described covering boreal, temperate, tropical as well as mountainous regions. The descriptions are made out from a biome and an ecosystem perspective. Also detailed accounts on tree species other vegetation is also briefly described. Climatic and soil conditions are dealt with as well as disturbances. Interesting notes on vegetation classification is also to be found, among others from Russia. The functional aspects of the conifer forests in terms of physiology, production, biomass, water and elemental cycling are dealt with in four chapters. Applied aspects as their economic value, management and importance for tourism are also presented.
