Overview

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and chlorofluorocarbons, are all increasing in the atmosphere. These gases are directly affecting biological processes in trees and ecological processes in forests. This book provides a review, written by international forest scientists, of what is known about the impact of elevated CO2 and other greenhouse gases, on forest ecosystems.

Reviews

In these eleven chapters, forest scientists from North America, Europe, and Australia review the current knowledge of greenhouse gases and their impact on forest ecosystems. Gas exchange, antioxidants, above- ground growth responses, the function of root systems, the phenology of forest trees, and nutrient cycling are all considered. Current models, FACE systems of study, and knowledge gaps are also discussed. --SciTech Book News<br>
