Research Series 1 - Forest Dynamics in Heavily Polluted Regions
This book includes the report from the IUFRO Task Force on Environmental Change and provides scientists with an up to date assessment of the extent of air pollution impacts in heavily polluted regions.
Report No. 1 of the IUFRO Task Force on Environmental Change
Air pollution has been recognized as a potential problem for forests for nearly 150 years. Today, sulphur dioxide, fluorides and heavy metals remain a significant problem in some areas, where they are usually associated with large-scale sources in industrial and urban areas. Problems are exacerbated in those regions where there is a poor understanding of the factors involved in forest decline and where no rigorous pollution controls have been implemented.
