Reviews
'... should be available and read by a large number of scientists, not only from biology and the geoscience.' Claus Buschmann, Journal of Plant Physiology, 'All in all this is an up to date, well referenced book which all those concerned with climatic and other global changes should consult. I recommend the book.' Iam W. Drummond, OUGS Journal, ‘ … the volume by Walker and Steffen deserves a prominent place on the bookshelves of scientists dealing with terrestrial ecosystem aspects of global change.’Harald Bugmann, Progress in Physical Geography, ' ... the volume by Walker and Steffen deserves a prominent place on the bookshelves of scientists dealing with terrestrial ecosystem aspects of global change.' Harald Bugmann, Progress in Physical Geography, ' … the volume by Walker and Steffen deserves a prominent place on the bookshelves of scientists dealing with terrestrial ecosystem aspects of global change.' Harald Bugmann, Progress in Physical Geography, ‘All in all this is an up to date, well referenced book which all those concerned with climatic and other global changes should consult. I recommend the book.’Iam W. Drummond, OUGS Journal, "This is a very useful compendium of articles on all aspects of the relationship between climate change and the health of ecosystems...Taken together, the various chapters represent one of the best collections of review articles on the science of climate change and the implications for terrestrial ecosystems...[T]he book is highly recommended." The Quarterly Review of Biology, ‘… should be available and read by a large number of scientists, not only from biology and the geoscience.’Claus Buschmann, Journal of Plant Physiology, "Many of the chapters will be of interest to researchers beyond climate change, especially those with a general interest in landscape and ecosystem dynamics, modelling, and analysis." Environments, '… should be available and read by a large number of scientists, not only from biology and the geoscience.' Claus Buschmann, Journal of Plant Physiology, "The book focuses on what we need to know in order to understand our planet better...there is much variation in the value of its 28 chapters, which are arranged in five sections (Ecosystem physiology; Ecosystem structure; Agriculture, forestry and soils; Ecological complexity; and Earth system science)." William H. Schlesinger, American Scientist

Synopsis
This major new book presents a collection of essays by leading authorities who address the current state of knowledge. The chapters bring together the early results of an international scientific research program designed to address what will happen to our ability to produce food and fiber, and what effects there will be on biological diversity under rapid environmental change. This book addresses how these changes to terrestrial ecosystems will feed back to further environmental change. International in scope, this state-of-the-art assessment will interest policymakers, students and scientists interested in global change, climate change and biodiversity. Special features include descriptions of a dynamic global vegetation model, developing generic crop models and a special section on the emerging discipline of global ecology., How will the world's vegetation, from 'natural' ecosystems to intensively managed agricultural systems, be affected by changes in land use, the composition of gases in the atmosphere, and climate? This major new book describes the current state of knowledge.
