About this book
Chapters include studies of the relationships of biogeography and climate to the region's air pollution, the chemical and physiological mechanisms of ozone injury, as well as the impacts of nitrogen-containing pollutants and natural stresses on polluted forests.
Contents
Section 1: Description of Soils, Climate, Natural Resources, and Their Modification by Anthropogenic Influences: Geography, Geology, Geomorphology and Forest Soils * Climatology * Vegetation, Fire Regimes and Forest Dynamics.
