Beschreibung
Ecosystem Dynamics focuses on long-term terrestrialecosystems and their changing relationships with humansocieties. The unique aspect of this text is the long-timescale under consideration as data and insights from the last 10,000years are used to place present-day ecosystem status into atemporal perspective and to test models that generate forecasts offuture conditions. Descriptions and assessments of some of thecurrent modelling tools that are used, along with theiruncertainties and assumptions, are an important feature of thisbook. An overarching theme explores the dynamic interactionsbetween human societies and ecosystem functioning and services.
This book is authoritative but accessible and provides a usefulbackground for all students, practitioners, and researchersinterested in the subject.

"Personal anecdotes enliven the writing and add a human touch; for graduate students, these will serve as important reminders that there is much to learn outside the laboratory." (Choice, 1 February 2015)
