Description: "Tropical Rainforest Responses to Climatic Change is the first book to investigate how tropical rainforest ecology is altered by climate change, rather than simply how plant communities are altered. A major theme is the interaction between humans, climate and forest ecology, and the book explicitly explores the effects of long-term occupation of tropical systems. It also looks at the future climatic effects of deforestation, coupled with anthropogenic emissions."--BOOK JACKET
