Author Description

Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in Global Forests: Spatial Variation, Impacts, and Management Implications provides the most updated and comprehensive knowledge on spatial variation and ecological impacts of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests, as well as forest management options to mitigate the negative impacts. Written and edited by international experts in the field, this book synthesizes recent research developments and insights in monitoring and modeling of nitrogen deposition in global forests. It also assesses ecological impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition on forest structure and function, and responses of forest ecosystems to decreasing nitrogen deposition in regions such as the European Union and North America. This book also reviews indicators and thresholds for nitrogen saturation in global forests and analyzes remediation options to reduce impacts of excess nitrogen deposition. Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition in Global Forests: Spatial Variation, Impacts, and Management Implications is an important resource for researchers in forestry and biodiversity conservation, as well as graduate students, policymakers and others who want to understand environmental issues of reactive nitrogen deposition in global forests. Presents spatial variation of nitrogen deposition in forests at global scale Offers a systematic view of ecological impacts of enhanced nitrogen deposition Discusses responses of forest ecosystems r to decreasing nitrogen deposition Provides expert research and findings on forest management options to remediate negative impacts
