{"product_id":"managed-ecosystems-and-co2-josef-nzisberger-9783642068355","title":"Managed Ecosystems and CO2: Case Studies, Processes, and Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eManaged ecosystems cover a large part of the Earth's land surface, provide almost all of our food and most of our wood and fibre, and are increasingly a source of renewable energy. Forecasting the ability of managed ecosystems to continue these vital roles in a globally changing environment is an inter-disciplinary challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo elucidate the complex responses of managed systems to elevated [CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e], several \u003cem\u003efree air carbon dioxide enrichment\u003c\/em\u003e (FACE) facilities were established. These FACE systems allow large areas to be exposed to the elevated [CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e] we expect by the middle of the century. This volume summarizes the main findings from 13 experiments with annual crops, permanent pastures and plantation forests at 11 sites throughout the world during the past ten years. The results significantly alter our perception of how rising [CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e] will directly affect these managed ecosystems, with implications for policy, plant-breeding objectives and adaptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josef Nösberger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642068359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642068355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.01d","brand":"Josef Nösberger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930937278719,"sku":"9783642068355","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20264b15-8521-4ccc-8e66-1477abcc4870.jpg?v=1766345324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managed-ecosystems-and-co2-josef-nzisberger-9783642068355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
