商品描述

Vegetation, soil and climate are the most important components of ecological systems. The book represents a compact synthesis of our current knowledge about the ecology of the Earth and is thus the basis for understanding the major interrelationships in a global perspective. In the first part, with a rich endowment of illustrations and photographic material, the well-introduced book deals with the essential processes and operations on the Earth's surface that lead to the formation of the vegetation cover with its distinctive zonation. In the second part, the individual vegetation zones as large-scale ecosystems (i.e. zonobiomes of the biosphere) are consistently described comparatively according to certain criteria. In a short and compact form, the main characteristics and structures as well as examples of ecosystem processes are discussed. The large-scale ecosystems are at the same time the basis and reference system for all anthropogenic changes that have drastically altered thevegetation in the last millennia, but especially in the 20th century.

This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Vegetation und Klima by Siegmar-W. Breckle and M. Daud Rafiqpoor, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

植被、土壤和氣候是生態系統中最重要的組成部分。本書是我們目前對地球生態學知識的精煉綜合，因此成為理解全球視角下主要相互關係的基礎。在第一部分，配有豐富的插圖和照片資料，這本介紹良好的書籍探討了地球表面上導致植被覆蓋形成及其獨特分區的基本過程和運作。在第二部分，根據某些標準，個別植被區作為大規模生態系統（即生物圈的分區生物群）被一致地進行比較描述。以簡短而精煉的形式，討論了主要特徵和結構以及生態系統過程的例子。這些大規模生態系統同時是所有人為變化的基礎和參考系統，這些變化在過去幾千年中徹底改變了植被，尤其是在20世紀。

本書是原德文第一版《Vegetation und Klima》的翻譯，作者為Siegmar-W. Breckle和M. Daud Rafiqpoor，於2019年由Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany（Springer Nature的一部分）出版。翻譯工作是借助人工智慧（由DeepL.com提供的機器翻譯）完成的。隨後的人工修訂主要針對內容進行，因此本書的文風將與傳統翻譯有所不同。Springer Nature持續致力於推進書籍製作工具的發展及相關技術，以支持作者。
