Bioclimatology and Natural Hazards

Bioclimatology and Natural Hazards edited by Katarína Strelcová, Csaba Matyas, Axel Kleidon, Milan Lapin, František Matejka, Miroslav Blazenec, Jaroslav Škvarenina, Jan Holecy.

Anthropogenic influences to the earth's system, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and lithosphere, represent a serious challenge to our planet's ecosystems and natural environments. Bioclimatology, hydrology, bio-hydrology and eco-physiology are important scienti...
