Vegetationszonen und Klima EnglSpringer Science & Business Media, 7 août 2002 - 527 pages Vegetation, soil and climate are the most important components of ecological systems. This long-awaited fourth edition of the well-established textbook by Heinrich Walter summarizes our knowledge of the earth's ecology and constitutes the basis for a deeper understanding of the larger interrelations on a global scale. While Walter's general concept remains unchanged, the individual chapters have been completely revised, enlarged and updated. The author's intimate knowledge of practically all classes of plants and climatic zones allows him to describe the various ecological systems in close detail. This richly illustrated textbook is a must for every student in the plant sciences. |

Page 213 - In all deserts (except in the fog variety), the air is very dry. Both incoming and outgoing radiation are extremely intense, which means that the daily temperature fluctuations are large. In the rainy season, however, the extremes are greatly reduced.
Page 449 - The low summer temperatures are partially due to the large amount of heat required to melt the snow and thaw out the ground. Winters are rather mild in the oceanic regions but extremely cold in the continental regions (Fig.
Page 160 - Erythrina species), whereas the lower storeys are still evergreen, therefore, it can be termed tropical semi-evergreen forest. With a further decrease in rainfall and a lengthening of the dry season, all of the arboreal species are deciduous and the forest is bare for shorter or longer periods of time.
