Permafrost Ecosystems Siberian Larch Forests

Permafrost Ecosystems Siberian Larch Forests / edited by Akira Osawa, Olga A. Zyryanova, Yojiro Matsuura, Takuya Kajimoto, Ross W. Wein.

Drawing from a decade-long collaboration between Japan and Russia, this important volume presents the first major synthesis of current knowledge on the ecophysiology of the coniferous forests growing on permafrost at high latitudes. It presents ecological data for a region long inaccessible to most...
