Conference on Recent Shifts in Vegetation Boundaries of Deciduous Forests, Especially Due to General Global Warming

Klötzli, Frank; Walther, Gian-Reto

Recent climatic shifts, based on mild winters and more hot summers have released vegetation shifts all over the world. The book presents numerous case studies from Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Caucasus, Italy, Ireland, China, Japan, United Staes, Brazil and Chile. The authors analyse the resulting changes in compositions and structures of the forest vegetations, especially the process of Laurophyllisation.
