Description:
The forest canopy is the functional interface between 90% of Earth's terrestrial biomass and the atmosphere. Multidisciplinary research in the canopy has expanded concepts of global species richness, physiological processes, and the provision of ecosystem services. Trees respond in a species-specific manner to elevated carbon dioxide levels, while climate change threatens plant-animal interactions in the canopy and will likely alter the production of biogenic aerosols that affect cloud formation and atmospheric chemistry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ozanne, C M P -- Anhuf, D -- Boulter, S L -- Keller, M -- Kitching, R L -- Korner, C -- Meinzer, F C -- Mitchell, A W -- Nakashizuka, T -- Dias, P L Silva -- Stork, N E -- Wright, S J -- Yoshimura, M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Jul 11;301(5630):183-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Research in Ecology and Environment, School of Life and Sport Sciences, University of Surrey Roehampton, West Hill, London SW15 3SN, UK. c.ozanne@roehampton.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12855799" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
