Vegetation - Climate Interaction. How Vegetation Makes the Global Environment. 2007. (Springer Praxis Books, Environmental Sciences). illus. XVII, 232 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Offers a readable and accessible account of the way in which the world's plant life partly controls its own environment. Starting from the broad patterns in vegetation which have classically been seen as a passive response to climate, the authors build up from the local scale - with microclimates produced by plants - to the regional and global scale. The influence of plants (both on land and in the ocean) in making clouds, haze and rain are considered, along with plant effects on the composition of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere.
