Editorial Reviews
Review
'The book is pioneering, thought provoking and scholarly ... if you are interested in plant-atmosphere interactions, then the book is worth reading.' Dennis Baldocchi, TRENDS in Ecology & Evolution
'... pioneering, thought provoking and scholarly ... The bottom line is that, if you are interested in plant-atmosphere interactions, then this book is worth reading.' Dennis Baldocchi, TRENDS in Ecology and Evolution

Book Description
Plants have colonized and modified the world's surface for the past 400 million years. In this book the authors demonstrate that an understanding of the role of vegetation in the terrestrial carbon cycle during this time can be gained by linking the key mechanistic elements of present day vegetation processes to models of the global climate during different geological eras. The resulting interactive simulations of climate and vegetation processes tie in with observable geological data supporting the validity of the authors' approach.
