Product Description
This book demonstrates that long-term experimentation and monitoring are vitally important in understanding changes that are occurring in the ecosystems. Chapters are based on papers presented at a conference held in July 1993 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Rothamsted Experimental Station. During these 150 years of agricultural research a unique resource that is relevant to sustainability, environmental impact and climate change. The book consists of 22 chapters and covers a wide range of topics, including descritions of various long-term experiments in the USA, Australia, Eastern Europe and Africa, as well as the studies at Rothamsted. It also includes chapters on long-term studies of climate-vegetation relationships, tropical forest dynamics, bird populations and planktonic communities as monitors of marine environmentla change. As a result it will interest a very wide range of readers in agronomy, soil science, forestry, ecology and environmental science.
