商品描述
This second volume on Himalayan forests provides critical insights into Himalayan forests' response to the dual pressures of anthropogenic and natural stressors during the unprecedented environmental change. It examines forest reactions to physical disturbances, climatic shifts and the extreme temperature regimes that characterize treelines, thus predicting ecosystem responses under changing conditions. Through detailed analyses of treeline dynamics, fire ecology and wildlife distributions, this volume demonstrates forest ecosystem resilience and vulnerability to environmental stressors and provides insights into the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors. A distinctive focus on human-forest relationships examines both direct benefits and ecosystem service flows that sustain Himalayan communities. From livelihood transitions and shifting cultivation practices to silvicultural approaches, this volume bridges ecological science with practical applications. Coverage of chronic disturbance patterns and forest recovery trajectories provides frameworks for understanding long-term ecosystem dynamics. This volume is a reference for conservation practitioners, climate researchers and forest managers. It addresses contemporary challenges in mountain ecosystems.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本有關喜馬拉雅森林的第二卷提供了關於喜馬拉雅森林在前所未有的環境變化中，對人為和自然壓力雙重影響的反應的重要見解。它探討了森林對物理擾動、氣候變遷以及特徵化樹線的極端溫度條件的反應，從而預測生態系統在變化條件下的反應。通過對樹線動態、火災生態學和野生動物分佈的詳細分析，本卷展示了森林生態系統對環境壓力的韌性和脆弱性，並提供了生物因子和非生物因子互動的見解。對人類與森林關係的獨特關注考察了直接利益和支持喜馬拉雅社區的生態系統服務流。從生計轉型和輪作實踐到林業管理方法，本卷將生態科學與實際應用相結合。對慢性擾動模式和森林恢復軌跡的涵蓋提供了理解長期生態系統動態的框架。
本卷是保育實務工作者、氣候研究者和森林管理者的參考資料，針對山地生態系統中的當代挑戰。
作者簡介
Dr. Rajesh Thadani is an ecologist with a Ph.D. and Masters in Forestry from Yale University, USA. He has taught at Yale and has extensive experience working in the Himalaya as the founder of CEDAR - a research based organization, and the Chief Executive of Chirag - a grassroots NGO. He has helped establish several non-profits in the Himalaya and is Chair of KGU, a not-for-profit company as well as of a prestigious Mumbai college. He is on the board of Himmotthan and NEIDA which together work in over one thousand villages of the Western and Eastern Himalaya. He has over 30 publications on Himalayan and temperate forests. He also has over 15 years work experience in the corporate sector having headed a prominent manufacturing company. Dr. S.P. Singh is amongst the best known Himalayan ecologists. His research interests range from the blade of a leaf to ecosystem services. He and his associates have studied almost all dimensions of forest ecosystems, including biomass and productivity, nutrient cycling, carbon budget, phenology, tree water relations, fire adaptations and ecosystem services. He has played a vital role in the recognition of Himalayan ecosystems as a global asset and developed the concept of ecosystem services in national accounting in India. Prestigious national academies such as Indian National Science Academy (INSA) have acknowledged Dr. Singh's work by recognizing him as a Fellow of the Academy. He has chaired several national level committees advancing science education and Himalayan development. He has published over 200 research papers in peer-reviewed national and international journals of well-repute.
