It delves into forest communities, succession, and diversity. The work also reviews abiotic factors like light, temperature, physiography (landforms and topography), soil, and disturbance (especially fire), while providing coverage of ecosystem-level topics including carbon storage and balance, nutrient cycling, and forest ecosystem productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5th edition of \u003ci\u003eForest Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e retains the readability and accessibility of previous editions and includes important additional topical material that has emerged in the field. All topics are approached with a landscape ecosystem or geo-ecological view, placing biota (organisms and communities) in context as integral components of whole ecosystems. These ecosystems also include air (atmosphere and climate), topography, soil, and water. This book fills a unique niche, unlike any other forest ecology text on the market, aiding students and researchers in considering whole ecosystems at multiple scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSample topics covered in \u003ci\u003eForest Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary components of forest ecology, including climate change, invasive species, diversity, ecological forestry, landscape ecology, and ecosystem services.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristics of physiography important for forest ecosystems, and its effects on microclimate, disturbance, soil, and vegetation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenetic diversity of woody plants and genecological differentiation of tree species, such as the importance of hybridisation, polyploidy, and epigenetics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSite quality estimation using tree height and ground flora, alongside multiple-factor approaches to forest site and ecosystem classification and mapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForest Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly accessible text for students and serves as an excellent reference for academics.
