Overview

Volume 12 of the ""Handbook of Vegetation Science"", dealt with the application of vegetation science in forestry, mostly European forestry. It was well received by the critics with the exception that they wanted a more diversified demonstration of forestry-related vegetation science work and a wider representation of forest types from different continents. The topics covered in this volume, 12/1, widen the scope of vegetation science work in forestry over the phytosociological work which was the main focus in the previous volume. Topics covered include forest ecosystems of East and Southeast Asia in a global perspective; climatic relations of the forests of East and Southeast Asia; species diversity in East Asia in global perspective; evergreen forest regions; summergreen forest regions; montane/boreal regions; and tropical forest regions.
