Summary

Previous chapters considered the nature and cause of global warming; the key role of carbon dioxide; the importance of the biogeochemical factors photosynthesis and BVOCs, and the biogeophysical factors albedo, evapotranspiration, and ozone; and how their interactions affect forests, atmospheric temperatures, and climate. Warming temperatures, forest fires, insect infestations, drought, deforestation and land-use change, latitudinal forest locations, and species composition all affect these interactions.
