Forest Dynamics and Disturbance Regimes

Studies from Temperate Evergreen-Deciduous Forests

Buch

Temperate-zone forests have been shaped by fire, wind and grazing over thousands of years. This book provides a major contribution to the study of their dynamics by considering three important themes: The combined influence of wind, fire and herbivory on the successional trajectories and structural characteristics of forests The interaction of deciduous and evergreen tree species to form mosaics which, in turn, influence the environment and disturbance regime The significance of temporal and spatial scale with regard to the over all impact of disturbances These themes are explored via case studies from the forests in the Lake States of the US… Mehr
