Review
'Well worth a place in the library.' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
' ... an excellent book, presenting deep information about the global change and its impact on the terrestrial biosphere in a very integral way ... I can highly recommend it as an example of a modern approach to organisation of international scientific effort in solving global problems ... Everyone, who wants to become acquainted with the current state of knowledge and with new findings concerning problems described above will be highly satisfied.' Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
Book Description
This new synthesis summarizes the international research effort in the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems (GCTE) Core Project of the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme in five major thematic areas: ecosystem physiology, ecosystem structure and composition, terrestrial production systems, global biogeochemistry, and ecological complexity (biodiversity). The editors present a summary of the integrated and interactive effects of global change on the terrestrial biosphere for four key regions of the world, as well as a projection of future trends in the terrestrial component of the global carbon cycle. The book also includes a section on tools developed or modified for global change research.
