Geographical Changes in Vegetation and Plant Functional Types

Geographical Changes in Vegetation and Plant Functional Types edited by Andrew M. Greller, Kazue Fujiwara, Franco Pedrotti.

This book presents studies on current vegetation topics, from polar to tropical regions. It is a festschrift to mark the 70th birthday of Prof. Elgene O. Box, who has studied vegetation all over the world, both through fieldwork and modeling. It reflects a number of his interests, including basic ec...
