About this ebook
Lost Forests explores the disappearance of ancient woodlands due to climate change and human activity, revealing profound implications for our planet's ecological balance.
The book examines paleobotanical evidence to understand the driving forces behind these forest extinctions, offering lessons to safeguard modern ecosystems.
For example, the coal forests of the Carboniferous period provide insights into how environmental shifts can decimate entire ecosystems.
The book uniquely combines paleobotanical research with ecological modeling, moving beyond simple descriptions to understand the processes driving forest change.
It starts by introducing the concept of ""lost forests,"" progresses through case studies of specific extinct forests, and then delves into the roles of climate change and human activity.
Finally, it emphasizes the need for proactive measures to prevent further losses, highlighting the fragility of biodiversity and the consequences of unsustainable practices.
