Description

Product Description This book focuses on how climate affects or affected the biosphere and vice versa both in the present and in the past. The chapters describe how ecosystems from the Antarctic and Arctic, and from other latitudes, respond to global climate change. The papers highlight plant responses to atmospheric CO2 increase, to global warming and to increased ultraviolet-B radiation as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion. Review From the reviews: "The book ‘Plants and Climate Change’ is comprised of contributions to a symposium entitled ‘Plants and (Present and Past) Climate Change’, which originally was published in the journal ‘Plant Ecology’. … In the context of far northern ecosystems and wetlands, the book provides interesting and useful summaries that update and provide additional new perspectives required to better understand these systems. … an important extension and provide new insight on ecosystems intensively under study since the International Biological Programme, IBP." (J. Tenhunen and G.-R. Walther, Phytocoenologia, Vol. 38 (1-2), August, 2008) From the Back Cover The book Plants and Climate Change focuses on how climate affects or affected the biosphere and vice versa both in the present and past. The chapters describe how ecosystems from the Antarctic and arctic and from other latitudes respond to global climate change. The book covers papers highlighting plant responses to atmospheric CO2 increase, to global warming and to increased ultraviolet-B radiation as a result of stratospheric ozone depletion. Depending on how and how well plant responses to increased temperature, atmospheric CO2 and ultraviolet-B have been preserved in the (sub)-fossil record, past climates and past atmospheric chemistry may be reconstructed. Pollen and tree-ring data reflect plant species composition and variation of temperature and precipitation over long or shorter time intervals. In addition to well preserved morphological and chemical plant properties, new analytical techniques such as stable isotopes are becoming increasingly important in this respect. The development and validation of such biotic climate and environment proxies build a bridge between biological and geological research. This highlights that plant-climate change research is becoming a multi- and transdisciplinary field of relevant research.Reprinted from Plant Ecology, 182:1-2 (2006).
