- Kurztext
- Ten years after the publication of Vol. 99 "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function" edited by E.-D. Schulze and H.A. Mooney, this volume explores the field for the first time for the forest realmA landmark for the current discussions on biodiversityNot only of scientific importance, but also for the sustainable use of forest resourcesIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
