Description: "This book addresses the important - but often neglected - issue of vegetation interactions with climate. Although the subject of vegetation-climate interaction is a relatively young area of study, it is a compelling issue scientifically and is also of importance for land management practices. This book provides a readable, accessible account of the way in which the world's plant life in part controls its own environment."--Jacket.
