Effects of Air Pollution on Forest Health and Biodiversity in Forests of the Carpathian MountainsRobert C. Szaro, Andrzej Bytnerowicz, Július Oszlányi The effects of air pollution on biota may be subtle and elusive because of their interactions with natural stresses. Studies based on a network of sites in the Carpathian Mountains form the core of the content presented during this workshop. To this core are added key components on ecological sustainability, overviews on forest health in Europe and the world and several in-depth case studies. |
