  • Forests and Global Change

    Edited by David A. Coomes, David F. R. P. Burslem, William D. Simonson ...
    Series series Ecological Reviews
    Forests hold a significant proportion of global biodiversity and terrestrial carbon stocks and are at the forefront of human-induced global change. The dynamics and distribution of forest vegetation determines the habitat for other organisms, and regulates the delivery of ecosystem services, including carbon storage. Presenting recent research across temperate and tropical ecosystems, this volume ... Read more

  • The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index

    by Nathalie Pettorelli ...
    There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index), a simple numerical indicator and powerful tool that can be used to assess spatio-temporal changes in green vegetation. The NDVI opens the possibility of addressing questions on scales inaccessible to ... Read more

  • Bryophyte Ecology and Climate Change

    Edited by Zoltán Tuba, Nancy G. Slack, Lloyd R. Stark ...
    Bryophytes, especially mosses, represent a largely untapped resource for monitoring and indicating effects of climate change on the living environment. They are tied very closely to the external environment and have been likened to 'canaries in the coal mine'. Bryophyte Ecology and Climate Change is the first book to bring together a diverse array of research in bryophyte ecology, including ... Read more

  • Plant Disturbance Ecology

    The Process and the Response

    Edited by Kiyoko Miyanishi, Edward A. Johnson ...
    The media coverage of natural disasters (hurricanes, fires, floods, ice storms, etc.) indicates the prevalence of natural disasters in most, if not all, ecosystems. In order for scientists to study, understand, and ultimately predict how these disturbances affect ecosystems, it is necessary for them to know more about the physical processes involved in these disturbances and to learn how to couple ...
