Trees and Global Warming: The Role of Forests in Cooling and Warming the Atmosphere

'This is a well written book with useful summaries at the beginning and end of each chapter, and a good set of references that will act as a useful source of information for practitioners, researchers and students.' Peter Thomas, British Ecological Society 'This work is particularly appropriate and useful in this time of great interest in climate change.' F. W. Yow, Choice '… this comprehensive treatment of trees and the forests they compose culminates in his discussion of possible forest-related methods of mitigation for atmospheric change-associated global warming. In essence, this is a significant, well-organized scholarly volume, and an important reference for policymakers who wish to arm themselves with facts relevant to one of today's most important environmental issues.' William L. Crepet, The Quarterly Review of Biology
