Banded Vegetation Patterning in Arid and Semiarid Environments: Ecological Processes and Consequences for Management (Ecological Studies)
Ecological Processes and Consequences for Management (Ecological Studies)
David J. Tongway
Aerial photography has revealed the striking, widespread phenomenon of repeating patterns of vegetation in more arid areas of the world. Two interdependent phases, bands of dense and sparse vegetation, alternate in the landscape. This volume synthesizes half a century's accumulated knowledge of both theoretical and applied landscape function from a variety of these regions. It covers structure, dynamics, and methods of study, as well as disturbances to these landscapes and relevant management issues. Various chapters discuss the role of modeling in answering questions about the origins and complex processes of banded landscapes.
