It provides new insights in a multi-scale perspective into forest management, landscape connectivity changes, forest biomass patterns and species composition, and biological invasions of Andean forests, in a context of anthropogenic disturbance and global change. The studies cover gradients of forest ecosystems from Venezuela to southern Chile.PPN: PPN: 192400397XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SBL | ZDB-2-SXB
