They are  rich in ecosystem and landscape diversity, though characterized by  relatively few plant species, as compared to other forested regions.  The long term viability and sustainability of boreal forests is  influenced by many factors. They are subject to interruptions at  intervals by large-scale natural disturbances, and increasingly by  human activities. Boreal ecosystem development is typically a slow  process; hence rapid changes in the global environment may invoke  complex responses. Many industrial nations border, or lie within,  boreal regions, deriving much of their economic wealth and culture  from the forests. The response of boreal forests to changes in the  global environment - whether caused by direct human activity or  by indirect changes such as the anticipated changes in climate  - are therefore of considerable international interest, both  for their policy implications and their scientific challenges. \u003cbr\u003e  This book which contains almost 50 peer-reviewed papers from a  world-wide group of experts assembled under the auspices of IBFRA, the  International Boreal Forest Research Association, covers topics which  will stimulate further research and the development of constructive  policies for improved management and conservation of global boreal  forest resources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792336655\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-0942-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 548\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312206368908,"sku":"9780792336655","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792336655.jpg?v=1771521979","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792336655","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
