The scientific study of the interactions between forest ecosystems and the atmosphere is a field that "extends in scale from the physiology of intra-leaf organelles to the meteorology and carbon sequestration of whole forest ecosystems," note the editors (all of the School of GeoSciences, U. of Edinburgh, UK). They present 17 papers from the September 2001 conference from which this volume derived its name. Distributed by Oxford University Press. Topics include the role of stomata in transpiration and leaf respiration, methods of estimating carbon sequestration, the effects of forests on mesoscale atmospheric processes, remote sensing of forest canopy characteristics, and policy making and forestry implications.
