A collection of papers by experts in climatology, forestry, ecology, and conservation biology, providing an overview of the impact of climate change on tropical forests. Authors identify certain types of forest that may be particularly vulnerable, and show how global warming can aggravate problems in already fragmented forest areas. Subjects include relating tree physiology to past and future changes, responses of tropical trees to rainfall seasonality, and ecological implications of changes in drought patterns. Most papers were first presented at an April 1995 workshop. Reprinted from Climatic Change, vol. 39, nos. 2-3, 1998. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
