Vegetation can be affected by a variety of different disturbances such as wind, floods, fire, and insect attack, leading to an abrupt change in live biomass. Disturbance is a motor of vegetation dynamics, but also sensitive to climate change and poses a challenge for ecosystem management. Readers will discover the global distribution of disturbance regimes and learn about the importance of disturbances for biodiversity and the evolution of plant and animal life. The book provides a Central European perspective on disturbance ecology, and addresses important disturbance agents such as fire, wind, avalanches, tree diseases, insect defoliators, bark beetles and large herbivores in dedicated chapters. It furthermore includes chapters on anthropogenic disturbances in forests and grasslands. The impact of climate change on disturbance regimes and approaches to address disturbance risks in ecosystem management are discussed in concluding chapters. Within the 18 chapters 14 textboxes highlight current topics of disturbance ecology and provide deeper methodological insights into the field. Disturbances strongly shape our landscapes and maintain our biodiversity. A better understanding of their ecology is thus fundamental for contextualizing the dynamic changes in our environment. This book is a valuable resource for students and practitioners interested in disturbances and their management. 410 0$aLandscape Series,$x1875-1210 ;$v32 606 $aEcology 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aEcology 606 $aLandscape Ecology 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aTerrestial Ecology 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 14$aEcology. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aTerrestial Ecology. 676 $a333.9516 676 $a577.2 702 $aJentsch$b Anke 702 $aWohlgemuth$b Thomas 702 $aSeidl$b Rupert 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910631081803321 996 $aDisturbance Ecology$92965604 997 $aUNINA
