简介

Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Explains methods for integrating the analysis of forests at the individual stand, landscape, regional, continental, and global scales. Introduces a framework and a set of tools that provide a quantitative basis for judging the implications of a wide variety of forest management decisions of the natural resource base. The 1985 edition, a solo effort by Waring, is here revised to emphasize quantitative modeling and extrapolations across large spatial and time scales. The CD-ROM is also new, and contains animated images and computer code for two of the models presented. Suitable as a graduate or undergraduate textbook. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.   Publisher Summary 2 This book provides new methods of analysis by introducing new techniques to explore the changes in climatic cycles, the implications of wide-scale pollution, fire and other ecological disturbances that have a global effect on all life forms. It provides the reader with almost 40 percent new material in an attempt to organize principles and provide examples for expanding the horizon of ecosystem analyses. It also defines terms and explains concepts in a variety of ways by providing models, equations, graphs, and tabular examples. To help facilitate analysis, the book includes a CD-ROM with additional illustrations and Forest BGC software. * Additional coverage of regional and global scaling issues * New chapters on ecosystem modeling, remote sensing and monitoring of atmospheric chemistry added * Includes a CD-ROM with additional illustrations and Forest BGC Software
