This new collection of papers  provides, for the first time, an overview of the potentially serious  impact that climate change may have on tropical forests. The authors,  a multi-disciplinary group of leading experts in climatology,  forestry, ecology and conservation biology, present a  state-of-knowledge snapshot of how tropical forests are likely to  react to the changes being wrought on our planet's atmosphere and  climate. \u003cbr\u003e  Tropical forests represent extraordinary harbours for biological  diversity, and yet as deforestation and degradation continue apace,  they are under greater pressure from human impacts than ever before.  Climate change adds yet another threat to these valuable ecosystems,  and this volume demonstrates just how significant a problem this may  really be. The authors identify certain types of forest, including  tropical montane cloud forest that may be particularly vulnerable.  They also show the strong likelihood of global warming aggravating  problems in already fragmented forest areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792351245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792351245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2730-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 463\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358426820748,"sku":"9780792351245","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792351245_8ed366ac-cfaa-4ee8-8741-97473535848f.jpg?v=1755106333","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792351245","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
