Responses of Northern U.S. Forests to Environmental Change

Responses of Northern U.S. Forests to Environmental Change edited by Robert A. Mickler, Richard A. Birdsey, John Hom.

In the Global Change Research Act of 1990, "global change" is defined as "changes in the global environment (including alterations in climate, land productivity, oceans or other water resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems) that may alter the capacity of the Earth to...
