دانلود کتاب Vegetation-Climate Interaction: How Vegetation Makes the Global Environment

If you’ve ever wondered how vegetation can create clouds, haze and rain, or how plants have an impact on the composition of greenhouse gases, then this book is required reading.Ideal for undergraduates, researchers and conservationists alike, the authors cover everything from tiny local microclimates created by plants to their effect on a global scale.The book explains the influence of plants (both on land and in the ocean) in making clouds, haze and rain are considered, along with plant effects on the composition of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere.Also explored are the broad global feedbacks that either stabilize or destabilize the earth's environment. They are set in the context of environmental change in the recent geological past as well as in the near future.Common contentions and misconceptions about the role of vegetation or forest removal in the spread of deserts are also considered.This book presents a window on one of the world’s most important issues, explaining some of the underlying mechanisms by which plant life controls how our planet works and influences the climate, the atmosphere and the ocea
