Description
The importance of carbon dioxide extends from cellular to global levels of organization and potential ecological deterioration may be
the result of increased CO2 in our atmosphere. Recently, the research emphasis shifted from studies of photosynthesis pathways and plant
growth to ground-breaking studies of carbon dioxide balances in ecosystems, regions, and even the entire globe.Carbon Dioxide
and Terrestrial Ecosystems addresses these new areas of research. Economically important woody ecosystems are emphasized because
they have substantial influence on global carbon dioxide balances. Herbaceous ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, prairies, wetlands) and crop
ecosystems are also covered. The interactions among organisms, communities, and ecosystems are modeled, and the book closes with an important
synthesis of this growing nexus of research.Carbon Dioxide and Terrestrial Ecosystems is a compilation of detailed
scientific studies that reveal how ecosystems generally, and particular plants specifically, respond to changed levels of carbon dioxide.
