- Synopsis
- The tropical forests my provide much of our oxygen world-wide, but the temperate forests sustain us, and here Kuennecke (Radford U.) takes a very close look at temperate forest biomes, temperate broadleaf deciduous forests, Mediterranean woodlands and stands of scrub in a temperate environment. Focusing on a range of temperate forest biomes, he gives a general overview at a global scale and analyzes specific biomes in detail, so much so that chapters can stand on their own. He keeps undergraduates in mind, using a minimum of scientific jargon but respecting that which is needed, and organizes chapters geographically to cover virtually every temperate biome. He notes that all biomes overlap to some degree and explains the phenomenon, and also pays attention to the effects of climate and climate change.
