| Summary |
"Global Ecodynamics is the result of a detailed study of the global carbon cycle problem, with special emphasis on biospheric contributions. The book: discusses basic global problems of ecological, socio-economic, and political factors in the formation of global changes of the environment; highlights a new concept of the synthesis of the geo-information monitoring systems; emphasises the problem of estimating the greenhouse effect after considering the most significant natural and anthropogenic processes in the environment; suggests a spatial model of the biospheric carbon budget which describes the fluxes between the atmosphere, surface biocenoses and ocean ecosystems; and assesses the role of various parts of the biosphere in assimilating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and predicts the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."--BOOK JACKET |
