After years of technological development and its important achievements to make our life easier and more comfortable, human society is going to face one of the most difficult challenges of the last century: to stabilize the concentra tion levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to prevent harmful effects on the climate system. Through a delicate balance between photosynthesis and respiration, terres trial ecosystems, and in particular forests, are today thought to take up a sig nificant part of the carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, sometimes called the "terrestrial carbon sink". However, the location, magnitude, and vulnerability of the ... Read more

Reviews for Fluxes of Carbon, Water and Energy of European Forests
From the reviews: "This book makes the synthesis of a large amount of scientific research on European forest ecosystem functioning. … Besides the central issue of this work, which is the carbon balance, its temporal and spatial variation, one will find in this book, a lot of data, parameters and fitted functions, which will be ...
