Beschreibung
Dendroecologists apply the principles and methods of tree-ring science to address ecological questions and resolve problems related to global environmental change. In this fast-growing field, tree rings are used to investigate forest development and succession, disturbance regimes, ecotone and treeline dynamics and forest decline. This book of global scope highlights state-of-the-science dendroecological contributions to paradigm-shifts in our understanding of ecophysiology, stand dynamics, disturbance interactions, forest decline and ecosystem resilience to global environmental change and is fundamental to better managing our forested ecosystems for the full range of ecosystem goods and services that they provide.
This book fills a knowledge gap by addressing dendroecology, an important and fast-growing subdiscipline of dendrochronology The ecological lessons that dendrochronological studies provide are fundamental to improving existing forest management strategies and developing new ones in the face of global change The application of tree-ring analyses has emerged as a powerful approach to address complex ecological questions and to quantify environmental change through time The book is designed to include four broad topical themes, represent forests from around the globe and introduce new fields or applications not explored in previous books
